Rating: 3.0/5
The 2024 Domaine des Roches Neuves – Thierry Germain’s Saumur Champigny presents itself with a deep, ruby colour, its clarity perfectly transparent. Aromatically, the bouquet shows complex and enticing, with medium intensity, primarily dominated by earthy notes and subtle hints of spice, complemented by a whiff of dark fruit. On the palate, fine-grained tannins add structure, complementing the medium-bodied wine, while acidity and alcohol are perfectly balanced.
