Domaine des Roches Saumur Champigny Franc de Pied 2021

Saumur Champigny Franc de Pied 2021 is a red wine produced by Domaine des Roches Neuves in Saumur, in the Loire Valley. It is obtained with pure Cabernet Franc grapes coming from plants located in sandy soils and ungrafted, these are then vinified and aged in wood for at least 15 months. The nose is complex, floral and fruity with spicy and smoky hints, while the mouth is decidedly fine and elegant. We like it because it is a pure expression of territory and variety, perfect with beef

Domaine Des Roches Neuves was born thanks to the incredible tenacity and will of Thierry German who, originally from Bordeaux, moved to Saumur in the early 1990s where he met his mentor and spiritual father Charly Foucault of Clos Rougeard.

Thierry Germain was one of the 2.0 pioneers of the biodynamic movement in the entire area, and is now rightfully among the best biodynamic companies in all of France.

The Domaine offers many variations of the Saumur Champigny denomination, and the main grape variety is Cabernet Franc, but be careful, you could easily fall in love with an unusual wine, produced with Chenin Blanc, called the Insolite, the house white.
