On the palate

"The 2021 Clos Romans’ peaceful entry starts as if it has repented for its sins, but don’t be fooled: this dry style has a fierce arrow-like line of acidity and tension penetrating the wine's core. In its precise and tense youth, this aromatically restrained wine oers subtle orals, quince and lees-derived notes, but it needs time to unfurl, relax and blossom." Vinous

Serious wines are produced at this estate run by the charismatic Thierry Germain. His approach is closer to a Burgundy wine-maker than a typical Loire producer. This 50-acre domaine situated in a superb viticultural location in the appellation of Saumur-Champigny has been a winery since 1850. Germain from a long line of Bordeaux winemakers arrived here in 1991 attracted by the region’s perfect balance of grape varietal climate and 'terroir' which he considers one of the finest in France. The vineyard is worked in a natural way with the goal of keeping the vine and the soil at its healthiest and Thierry has become a fully-fledged advocate of biodynamics.
