Thierry Germain – Domaine des Roches Neuves – Franc de Pieds 2020 – Saumur-Champigny

The wine shows a vivid ruby purple colour. The nose is slightly smoky and reductive, the wine will benefit from being aerated. It opens up with nuances of crunchy sour red cherries, nuances of cornflowers and violets, some smoky, dark minerality. The palate is fresh and vibrant, very juicy and gourmet, offering attractive fruit sweetness, gourmandise, refreshing, crisp acidity and polished, chalky tannins. The wine is delicate and light, delivering fine flavours of forest red berries, complicated by nuances pomegranate, bramble and pungent spices. Aerial and delicate.
