Rated Estate Tasting Review

About the estate:

From her father, she inherited a love of the land and the soil. In the Saumur region, the name Germain naturally brings to mind the famous Roches Neuves estate in Varrains. Jeanne, the youngest daughter of the charismatic Thierry Germain, began her journey four years ago with Ben and Comtesse, two Ardennes horses, working in agricultural animal-drawn traction. It was her father who passed on to her the sensitivity and character that allow her to work the soil with these two sturdy steeds: a total of seven hectares at Les Roches Neuves and eight other estates in the Anjou region. But Jeanne felt she needed a bit of winemaking to truly flourish. She’s been at it since 2019. In 2020, she released her second Foulée, a delightful micro-cuvée of gently extracted Cabernet Franc.

Review by Mr. RICHARD C. Posted on 01/05/2025

The first bottle was just average, and the second one, which I opened recently, was undrinkable! The wine had gone completely bad; it ended up down the drain.
