  White wine

From a selection of 3 vineyards, one of which is very rich in limestone, one further south towards Anjou with a clayey composition and one over a century old in Saumur. Manual collection in boxes. Alcoholic fermentation in 12 hl oval barrels to preserve all the minerality. Pneumatic pressing for 4 hours then fermentation for 4 months.

On the nose it combines concentration, freshness, generosity and power and reveals subtle fruity, floral and vegetal hints. Then the white pulp fruit, citrus fruits, verbena and lime on the finish.

In the mouth it is clean and velvety, the freshness is present and draws the contours of the material guaranteeing the aromatic identity of the flavours. Rich, long and energetic finish

Unusual and Delicious

Saumur, Loire

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.
