Jeanne Germain - Saumur-Champigny La Foulée 2022
90/100
Robert Parker
"From Father to Daughter, a micro-vintage worth discovering!"
Jeanne Germain offers us this pure pleasure cuvée, a Cabernet Franc gently extracted from clay soil. Produced without added sulfur, without filtration, and aged in old barrels, this wine expresses lovely fruitiness, like a sweet treat. The palate is generous, with supple tannins and a fresh finish.

Wine rating (2024 guide) 90/100 (Outstanding wine)
About wine:
La Foulée 2022, aged for eight months in used barrels and in a single 12-hectoliter wooden vat, comes from vines grown on clay soils. It has a reserved bouquet of dark wild berries, flowers, and spices. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine is round and supple but has a somewhat austere character with structured tannins and a long, mineral finish.

Rated estate (2024 guide) Tasting Review
About the estate:
From her father, she inherited a love of the land and soil. In the Saumur region, the name Germain naturally evokes the famous Roches Neuves estate in Varrains. Jeanne, the youngest daughter of the charismatic Thierry Germain, began her story four years ago with Ben and Comtesse, two Ardennes horses, providing animal traction services. It was her father who passed on to her the sensitivity and character that enable her to work the soil with these two big beasts: a total of seven hectares at Les Roches Neuves and eight other estates in the Anjou region. Jeanne then felt she needed a little more winemaking experience to flourish. She has been working on this since 2019. In 2020, she produced her second Foulée, a delicious micro-vintage Cabernet Franc extracted gently.

Review and opinion by Mr. MATHIEU W. Published on 08/31/2024
Purple-red color. On the nose, aromas of white flowers, earthiness, and a hint of mocha. On the palate, sultry, ripe, and soft Cabernet Franc fruit. Dark fruit and again earthiness, spiciness, and paprika. Excellent body and soft tannins. Fruit-forward and modern in style. Score: 15.5/20
