Domaine Des Roches Neuves
Serious wines are produced at this estate run by the charismatic Thierry Germain. His approach is closer to a Burgundy wine-maker than a typical Loire producer. This 50-acre domaine situated in a superb viticultural location in the appellation of Saumur-Champigny has been a winery since 1850. Germain from a long line of Bordeaux winemakers arrived here in 1991 attracted by the region’s perfect balance of grape varietal climate and 'terroir' which he considers one of the finest in France. The vineyard is worked in a natural way with the goal of keeping the vine and the soil at its healthiest and Thierry has become a fully-fledged advocate of biodynamics.
Description
The domaine Cabernet Franc from Thierry Germain is a particularly ethereal and pure expression of the variety, light in body, bright and energetic. Fragrant red and blue fruit, brown herbs and satin, Pinot like tannins. You could certainly serve it lightly chilled.
