Thierry Germain’s 2021 Saumur Champigny Les Mémoires shows old-vine depth in a lithe, finely etched frame, with redcurrant and plum layered over violet, spice and a subtle smoky-mineral edge. The palate is precise and crystalline, its juicy acidity and firm yet polished tannins giving this Cabernet Franc both immediate charm and clear aging potential.
Herb-roasted rack of lamb; Duck breast with redcurrant jus; Lentil and mushroom ragout

Les Mémoires from Thierry Germain’s Domaine des Roches Neuves is a single‑parcel Saumur‑Champigny bottling of old‑vine Cabernet Franc (planted c.1904) grown on silex/chalky tuffeau soils in Dampierre‑sur‑Loire; biodynamically farmed and matured mostly in large foudres, it shows a lean, mineral-driven profile of red and black fruit, floral and flinty/earthy notes, fine tannins and an elegant, ageworthy structure.
