"in varrains, 5km from brine, the new rocks area is located in the heart of the loire valley. the vineyard, very fragmented, is composed of 61 plots of land covering 28 hectares in the appellation saumur champigny, for red wines, and saumur, for white wines. limestone (tuffeau) is the strength of our soil; this porous rock stores moisture in order to redistribute it in times of severe drought. the influence of the loire, its tributary and the fontevraud forest creates a real microclimate. the alternation of calcareous, sandy and clay soils represents a diversity of terroirs offering endless 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 expanded by 2 hectares of chenin and 8 hectares of cabernet franc in 1996. in 2012, the vineyard was enriched with new plots: the closing of the scale and the memories. at the same time, the estate was completely converted into organic farming in the late 1990s and then into biodynamic farming in the early 2000s. cultivated on sandy soil, the franc de pied cuvée of the domaine des roches neuves offers a soft and supple red wine, on small red fruits, with beautiful floral notes. the wine is crisp, delicate, delicious, balanced, on the fruit. it must be opened more than an hour before the tasting to reveal all its qualities. we find raspberry, blackcurrant in this franc de pied. nice minerality and light acidity that makes salivate. long finish. the memoirs 2015 is a dark cabernet franc of crimson color and very intense, but also pure and complex of vines of more than 100 years. planted in 1904, these very old cabernet franc vines deliver, in this cuvée les mémoires, mentholated nuances as well as a pretty red fruit. the attack is straight and powerful, with remarkable finesse."
