Domaine Des Roches Neuves
Cabrose 2023
Saumur | Pink | 2023
Made entirely from Cabernet Franc grapes grown on 25-year-old vines, this organic wine is distinguished by its meticulous winemaking. The grapes are hand-harvested and then rigorously sorted before being transferred to vats. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, combining 70% pressed juice and 30% saignée (free-run juice). Without malolactic fermentation or added sulfites, this natural wine reveals a pure expression of the grape variety grown on clay-limestone soils, offering a balanced structure and authentic flavors.

Our opinion on the vintage
Domaine Des Roches Neuves
In Saumur-Champigny, the Domaine des Roches Neuves has been run by Thierry Germain since 1992. The estate extends over limestone and clay-limestone terroirs, particularly suited to cabernet franc, as well as chenin for white wines.
Starting in 2002, the estate embraced biodynamic farming, with in-depth work on the soils, vine vitality, and yield control. This approach aims to produce balanced grapes, capable of accurately expressing their origin without artifice in the cellar. Vinification prioritizes measured extractions and a focus on the body of the wine to preserve the fruit and the natural energy of the juice.
The winemaking process is conceived as a complementary tool, chosen to respect the wine's structure and its capacity for expression, without seeking to influence the style. The wines are distinguished by their purity of fruit, their precision, and a sense of controlled tension, while retaining genuine depth.
