Sables Verts' Glouglou was an instant favorite. We discovered Sables Verts earlier this year and they became a go-to for honest and very fairly priced Loire wine.
The Franc de Pied is based on vines that have never been grafted on to American root stock as nearly all of Europe's vines have been to escape phylloxera.
In recent years, Thierry Germain’s Roches Neuves has been catapulted into elite status. The wines have gained a cult following. Today, we focus on the low profile, value wine of Thierry Germain's lineup, the Saumur Blanc Clos du Moulin from the excellent 2015 vintage.
After tasting the 2015 Clos de l'Echelier for the first time, we set out to buy as much of the wine as we could find. Last week, we opened yet another bottle, and again, it blew us away.
Roches Neuves is one of the Loire's great estates. Today, we focus on their two Chenin Blancs, Clos de l'Echelier and Clos Romans. Both are absolutely dynamite expressions of the grape.
L'Echelier is a standout expression of Cab Franc. There's a unique haunting perfume, a lifted brightness and energetic minerality to the wine that overturns what you think is possible from the grape.
Lately, it's been impossible not to take notice of Roches Neuves. In recent vintages, they have simply been killing it. Today, I'm very happy to revisit their 2015 Clos de l'Echelier Blanc. When we first offered the 2015 in February 2017, it stood out as one of the vintage's best expressions of Chenin Blanc. If anything, the wine's success has come into clearer focus today.
For us, Roches Neuves Clos Romans Blanc is one of the great expressions of Chenin. Clos Romans is a walled vineyard dating back to the 11th century.
In a handful of years, Thierry Germain's Roches Neuves has been catapulted into elite status. They've become fixtures on the lists of 3-Star restaurants in Europe. At this point, it may very well be that their only rival in the Loire is the legendary Clos Rougeard.
Clos Romans stands as one of the great expressions of Chenin. Clos Romans is one of the most important wines of the Loire. Many tasters compare it to Corton-Charlemagne. That helps convey the amount of regal complexity and soaring tension that it offers. Along with the Memoires Rouge, the Clos Romans Blanc represents the top of Roches Neuves' range.
Lisagathe is Hureau's top wine. And in 2014, it's stunning.
It's rare that people compare a Cab Franc to Chambolle, but that's how people talk about l'Echelier.
We've written many times about how good 2014 was in the Loire. Today's offer highlights how the vintage elevated wines to seldom seen heights.
For us, Roches Neuves Clos Romans Blanc is one of the great expressions of Chenin.
