in varrains, 5km from saumur, the domaine des roches neuves is located in the heart of the loire valley. the vineyard, which is very fragmented, is composed of 61 plots of land covering 28 hectares in the saumur champigny appellation, for the red wines, and saumur, for the white wines. the limestone (tuffeau) is the strength of our terroir; this porous rock stores moisture in order to redistribute it during periods of severe drought. the influence of the loire, its tributary and the fontevraud forest, creates a real microclimate. the alternation of chalky, sandy and clayey soils represents a diversity of terroirs offering infinite possibilities with the two unique grape varieties present on the estate: cabernet franc and chenin. created in 1850 by the duveau family, thierry and marie germain took over the estate in 1991. initially covering 12 hectares of cabernet franc, the estate was extended by 2 hectares of chenin and 8 hectares of cabernet franc in 1996. in 2012, the vineyard was enriched with new plots: clos de l'echelier and les mémoires. at the same time, the domaine was entirely converted to organic farming at the end of the 1990s, then to biodynamic farming in the early 2000s. with a deep and silky tannin, this wine offers a salty finish of great complexity. we are on one of the summits of the vintage by its texture and its percussion.
