Description Saumur-Champigny "La Marginale"

Estate

Domaine des Roches Neuves, established by Thierry Germain, is a biodynamic benchmark in Saumur-Champigny. Located in Varrains, the estate benefits from a unique terroir in the Saumur region. The philosophy emphasizes soil health and vine balance to fully express Cabernet Franc character.

Vineyard

The vines thrive on limestone and clay-limestone soils characteristic of the area. With an average age of 35 years, the vines provide depth and aromatic complexity. The vineyard is fully biodynamic, free from chemical inputs, enhancing terroir expression.

Wine

This 2018 Saumur-Champigny from Domaine des Roches Neuves is an elegant and precise red wine. It reflects the purity of Cabernet Franc with a delicate structure and smooth tannins. It earned 94 points from Revue du Vin de France and 92 from Robert Parker, highlighting its quality.

Vintage

The 2018 vintage was warm and sunny, resulting in ripe, concentrated grapes. The harvest yielded healthy berries with excellent balance. This vintage is known for its generous fruit and freshness.

Vinification & Aging

The wine is fermented with whole clusters for a gentle extraction to retain finesse. Native yeasts are used in wooden conical vats. Aging lasts 12 months in large barrels and wooden vats to refine the tannic structure.

Grape Variety

100% Cabernet Franc
