Thierry’s Insolite translates directly to “unusual,” a fitting name for this remarkable Chenin Blanc. Sourced from a small parcel of 90-year-old vines rooted in a diverse mix of soils in the Saumur region, this wine is deeply complex. Aromas of apple, pear, citrus oil, and under ripe tropical fruit unfold with elegance. A laser-focused acidity brings vibrancy, while the concentration from the old vines provides depth and balance. The 2018 vintage is in a fantastic drinking window—expressive, refined, and full of life.
