Description
 
Located in the Loire valley, the Saumur-Champigny appellation specialises in red wines made from Cabernet Franc. Thierry Germain came to the region from Bordeaux in 1991 and quickly became a leader in terms of quality. His low-yielding vines are worked according to biodynamic principles and although the top cuvees see some oak the intensity of flavour in the fruit ensures that wood never dominates.

The 2012 Saumur Champigny Terres Chaudes is a low-yielding (35 hectoliters per hectare) floral, spicy Cab Franc from 40-year-old vines. Fermented with 30% whole bunches in concrete tanks and aged in 600- and 1200-liter barrels it is not as complex as Thierry Germain's new trio of special selections. However, the wine is lovely authentic and fresh with a rather robust character and a good fruit core of meaty cherries and black fruit aromas, plus a medium body with a good, floral-scented length. Wine Advocate 89+ (2012)
