CERTIFIED BIODYNAMIC
Meaning “out of the ordinary,” insolite refers primarily to the rare band of flint from which this classy blanc originates. But out of the ordinary is just as fitting a way to describe Thierry Germain. One of the most pensive and ambitious growers in the entire Loire Valley, Thierry is also one of the rare vignerons equally deft with Cabernet Franc and Chenin. Showing just as much savory stoniness as it does notes of fruit, L’Insolite would pair as beautifully with roast chicken as it would with baked white fish or meaty mushrooms. —Tom Wolf
