L'Insolite is a 2023 white wine from Thierry Germain, made from Chenin Blanc in Saumur, in France's Loire Valley.
Thierry Germain is one of the few producers in the Saumur-Champigny area to farm naturally, and he is proud of his compost, which he uses only when necessary. He farms biodynamically and asks his vines to produce much less fruit. His estate, Roches Neuves, averages just under 30 hectoliters per hectare, with some bottlings as low as 15, while many properties average upwards of 60. Harvesting is entirely by hand across more than 30 parcels, each vinified separately. The soils combine clay, limestone, flint, and alluvial deposits.
