One of the brightest stars in French winemaking today, Thierry Germain is making the wine world rethink how it has perceived Cabernet Franc from the Loire. His tiny property is certified biodynamic and his yields (with a green harvest) are a miniscule 15-30 hl/ha, almost a full 40 hl/ha under his neighbors. The vines are vibrant and wild, with tiny berries filled with concentrated fruit and minerality. Consistently producing some of the top Cabernet Franc bottlings in the world, Thierry is also well-known for a small batch, intensely terroir-driven Chenin bottling called "Insolite" that is produced from a single block of 80-year-old vines.

Roche Neuves 2008 Saumur-Champigny
Rating: 87

Deep red with a bright rim. Slightly high-toned aromas of cherry skin, violet, licorice and herbs. Juicy, fresh and straightforward if a bit folded in on itself and inexpressive today. The firm finish features good vibrancy but comes up a bit short.
