About the SessionJust how well do modern-era South African wines perform as they get older ? One of the most important measures of great wine is that it should be age-worthy, that is it should become more pleasurable and more interesting to drink with time in the bottle.

About this Item
Born to a family of Bordeaux wine growers, at 23 years of age, in 1991, Thierry Germain left the Gironde to start his own domaine, Domaine des Roches Neuves, in the Loire valley. He believes the richness of the soil is key to the finesse of Saumur wines. Thierry Germain along with the Foucault brothers (Clos Rouegard) in Saumur Champigny and Nicolas Joly in Savenières have been three of the biggest drivers for quality Cabernet Franc and Chenin in the Loire. All being true believers in the merits of biodynamics.

Critics Ratings
'Very bright purple, with snappy black cherry fruit and a bit of smoke on the finish. Good, solid example of the style.' - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16/20 (Oct 2014)
'Bright ruby. Aromas of cherry, violet and licorice. Juicy, fresh and straightforward, with pure raspberry fruit and sweetish tannins. The finish features goof vibrancy and easy drinkability, but not the complexity of the other wines in the portfolio.' – Joel B Payne, Vinous
