Tasting notes

The vines, cultivated using biodynamic methods on tuffeau soils, produce grapes harvested manually at optimal ripeness. The winemaking process, with minimal intervention, respects the integrity of the fruit and the energy of the vintage: gentle macerations, indigenous yeasts, and aging in tanks to preserve freshness and the direct expression of the terroir.

On the nose, the wine releases aromas of fresh cherry, raspberry, violet, and white pepper, with a subtle note of graphite. The palate is straight and fluid, offering a crisp fruit and a beautiful tension. The tannins are fine and velvety, and the finish, delicately mineral, reveals a great drinkability while maintaining depth.

This Saumur-Champigny Rouge 2024 will pair perfectly with a plate of fine charcuterie, a roasted poultry, a herb-crusted veal roast, or even grilled vegetables with mild spices.

This wine is a sincere, luminous, and digestible expression of the Loire Cabernet Franc, crafted by a visionary winemaker, who shapes terroir wines with precision and emotion.

More About The Winery

A leading figure of the Loire Valley’s new generation, Thierry Germain has redefined the identity of Saumur through a relentless pursuit of purity and terroir expression. Since taking over Domaine des Roches Neuves in the early 1990s, he has transformed the estate into one of the region’s benchmarks.

Working with biodynamic principles, Germain cultivates his vineyards with a deep respect for living soils, primarily composed of tuffeau limestone—a soft, chalky rock that brings tension, freshness, and remarkable minerality to the wines. His approach in the cellar is equally precise and minimalist, favouring gentle extractions and, increasingly, the use of large oak, concrete, and amphora to preserve energy and finesse.

Cabernet Franc is at the heart of the domaine. Here, it reveals a style far removed from rusticity: vibrant, lifted, and finely structured, with notes of red berries, graphite, violets, and subtle herbal nuances. The tannins are refined, the acidity bright, and the wines carry a distinctive sense of verticality.

The whites, crafted from Chenin Blanc, show equal precision—textural yet taut, with layers of citrus, orchard fruit, and saline minerality, capable of both immediate pleasure and graceful ageing.

Domaine des Roches Neuves stands today as a reference for modern Loire wines: precise, energetic, and deeply expressive of their origin, guided by one of the region’s most thoughtful and influential vignerons.
