This Cabernet Franc is made from grapes grown on carefully tended vineyards with clay-limestone soil. The vines, ideally situated with a full southern exposure, benefit from exceptional ripeness. Meticulous vinification in wooden vats and aging in large oak casks for 12 months allow the wine’s aromatic richness to be extracted and preserved, thereby accentuating the intensity and precision of its flavors. Natural grass cover and soil cultivation aerate the soil and preserve the richness of the terroir.

Domaine Des Roches Neuves
Located in Saumur-Champigny, Domaine des Roches Neuves has been managed by Thierry Germain since 1992. The estate extends over calcareous and clay-limestone soils, which are particularly well-suited for Cabernet Franc, as well as Chenin for its white wines.
From 2002, the estate committed to biodynamic practices, involving extensive work on the soils, vine vitality, and yield management. This approach aims to produce balanced grapes that can accurately express their origin without artificial intervention in the cellar. Winemaking prioritizes measured extractions and work on the must to preserve the fruit and the natural energy of the juices.
Aging processes are conceived as supportive tools, selected to respect the wine's structure and its expressive capacity, without aiming to dictate the style. The wines are distinguished by their fruit purity, precision, and a sense of controlled tension, all while retaining genuine depth.
