On the palate

"From a clay-limestone site, the 2021 La Marginale is simply delicious. It is a quiet seducer with it silky charm, while remaining oaty and light on its feet. There's plenty of tannin contained within the core of this wine, coating the mouth finely. The long, fragrant finish is redolent of redcurrant, raspberry, violet and pencil lead. The 2021 is fresh and vibrant yet delicate." 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.
