Thierry Germain (Domaine des Roches Neuves) is no longer involved with the Cep by Cep project, but by the looks of things, his brother Phillipe is doing just fine. This Chenin value comes from 100% hand-harvested fruit which was organically grown in Rochefort-sur-Loire, just south of the river and opposite Savennières. Phillipe Germain oversees the vineyards, which are influenced by the schist-rich, volcanic soils of the Massif Armoricain. It’s the type of rock that imparts a pungent, stony bite into the dry Chenin of the area. The wine was vinified in two- to four-year-old 400-litre casks.

Picking up where last year’s wine left off, the new vintage is super racy, tangy and bright, with plenty of apple and lemon pith complemented by orange blossom and lanolin notes. Generous fruit weight meets tightly coiled acidity, and there’s a saline splash to finish–perfect.

On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
