Domaine des Roches Neuves, founded in 1850 and reborn under the leadership of Thierry Germain, is today one of the iconic wineries of the Loire and the Saumur appellation. Recognized for its organic and biodynamic philosophy, the winery represents a model of viticulture that respects nature and the terroir.
The vineyards, planted primarily on calcareous tuff soils, yield wines of extraordinary elegance, freshness, and longevity. The main varieties are Cabernet Franc, vinified as a red wine with a delicate and refined approach, and Chenin Blanc, the star of Saumur's great white wines, capable of combining mineral tension and aromatic complexity.
The Domaine des Roches Neuves style is distinguished by precision, purity, and drinkability: wines that are never heavy, but vibrant and dynamic, the result of controlled yields, spontaneous fermentations, and cellar work that enhances the grapes' natural expression.
Each bottle embodies the identity of the terroir and the philosophy of Thierry Germain, one of the Loire's most influential winemakers, capable of combining tradition and innovation in labels now considered internationally cult.
