This image is the perfect metaphor to imply the large shadow Thierry casts in life; affecting the vines around him through his ability to produce healthy grapes and practice biodynamic farming. While other vignerons in Saumur are pumping as much synthetic fertilizer into the vineyards as possible, Thierry is using compost when necessary, making the grapevines use their energy towards fruit production. The result: lower yields, higher flavor concentration and complex pure wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsolite means \"out of the ordinary\" and Thierry Germain is the exemplar. This bottle of Chenin Blanc comes from 3 hectares of 90 year old vines grown on undulating layers of s\u003cspan\u003eilex, clay, red limestone and sandstone. Spontaneously fermented, it spends two months fermenting in foudre and is racked to aging foudre and rests for 12 months on the lees.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"wineCRAFT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42460222816279,"sku":"French:FR071KL015-25","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9076\/4311\/files\/Germain_Linsolite_saumur_2023.jpg?v=1750790533","url":"https:\/\/hartandcru.com\/products\/thierry-germain-saumur-blanc-linsolite-2025","provider":"HART \u0026 CRU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
