Domaine des Roches Saumur Champigny La Marginale 2021

Saumur Champigny La Marginale 2021 is a red wine produced by Thierry Germain of Domaine des Roches Neuves in Saumur, Loire. The Cabernet Franc grapes are harvested manually, ferment spontaneously with native yeasts and macerate for approximately 24 months in barriques of various passages. Red fruits, humus and woody notes on the nose are a prelude to a slim, elegant and long sip. We find it perfect for a truffle pasta, and better and better with each passing year

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.
