Roches Neuves (Thierry Germain), Saumur-Champigny Clos de L'Echelier, 2015
Thierry Germain has made Roches Neuves one of the great names in biodynamic winegrowing in France, crafting Cabernet Franc of extraordinary purity in Saumur-Champigny since he bought the estate in 1991. Clos de l'Echelier is a serious, site-specific bottling from this site-obsessed grower, farmed biodynamically and made with the minimal intervention that defines his cellar. This is the 2015, a warm, ripe Loire vintage, and at a decade old it has rounded into savory, mature complexity. A back-vintage bottle from a private collection, it shows what Loire Cabernet Franc becomes with time. Decant and enjoy.
