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.
