in varrains, 5km from the brine, the new rock zone 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 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 enlarged by 2 hectares of chenin and 8 hectares of cabernet franc in 1996. in 2012, the vineyard was enriched with new plots: the closure of the scale and memories. at the same time, the estate was fully converted to organic farming in the late 1990s and then to biodynamic farming in the early 2000s. the marginal 2016 by thierry germain du domaine des roches neuves has notes of anise, blackcurrant, cherry, raspberry and violet with a hint of spices. on the palate, the attack is frank, powerful, almost imposing due to its volume and richness.
