Domaine Des Roches Neuves
Outre Terre 2022
Saumur-Champigny | Rouge | 2022
With a deep, dark garnet color, this 100% Cabernet Franc wine reveals a rich and elegant character. Its meticulous vinification includes a traditional four-month maceration in Georgian amphorae, followed by twelve months of barrel aging, with no added sulfur or filtration. This method allows for the development of a velvety texture and aromatic expressions of black fruit, beautifully supported by well-integrated tannins. Perfect for pairing with a platter of Spanish charcuterie.

Our Review of the Cuvée
Upon opening, this wine displays a nose that is initially reserved but ready to reveal its bouquet of ripe black fruits. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied, rounded sensation, marked by a dense, velvety texture. The experience is enriched by subtle aromas of cocoa and spices that linger delicately. The elegantly concentrated finish highlights vibrant fruit with measured intensity. The tannins blend harmoniously into this symphony of flavors, promising a refined tasting experience.

Domaine Des Roches Neuves
Loire | France
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.
