Description Saumur-Champigny "Outre Terre"

Estate

Domaine des Roches Neuves is a renowned estate located in Varrains, at the heart of the Saumur-Champigny appellation. It was founded by Thierry Germain, known for his rigorous biodynamic practices. The estate covers around 22 hectares of hand-tended, biodynamically farmed vines. Its philosophy focuses on expressing terroir purity and precision. The wines are frequently praised for their finesse and elegance.

Vineyard

Located in the Saumurois, the vineyard sits on classic tuffeau limestone soils of the Loire Valley. These deep, well-drained soils impart freshness and minerality. The continental, temperate climate allows for optimal ripening of Cabernet Franc. Biodynamic farming enhances soil vitality and vine health. The vineyard is divided into carefully selected small parcels.

Wine

The Saumur-Champigny from Domaine des Roches Neuves is a dry, elegant red wine. It focuses on aromatic finesse and freshness over power. It showcases the Cabernet Franc's potential on limestone soils. This wine displays drinkability with a marked mineral backbone. A refined choice for lovers of light-bodied reds.

Vintage

The 2018 vintage benefited from favorable conditions, with a hot and dry summer. Fruit ripened under excellent circumstances, yielding concentrated yet balanced grapes. Wines from this year are intense and precise. It is considered an excellent vintage for Saumur-Champigny and can be enjoyed young or with cellaring.

Vinification & Aging

The grapes are hand-harvested with strict selection in the vineyard. Vinification takes place in truncated wooden vats with gentle extraction. Fermentation uses native yeasts. Aging lasts about 6 to 8 months in used wood and uncoated concrete tanks. No new oak is used to preserve fruit purity and terroir expression.
