Tasting Note

This wine showcases a bright, limpid ruby-red robe with undulating reflections of violet-blue and cherry. The nose is fragrant and expressive, offering charming floral notes intertwined with small red berries. On the palate, the attack is bold and direct, revealing a crisp, juicy character centered around delicate red berry fruit. A touch of acidity adds volume and depth, enhancing the wine’s freshness and balance.

Product Notes

Domaine des Roches Neuves Saumur-Champigny Franc de Pied is a uniquely exceptional wine crafted by famed winemaker Thierry Germain in the Loire Valley of France. Made from 100% organic, ungrafted Cabernet Franc vines, known as Franc de Pied, this wine embodies purity, elegance and terroir-driven complexity. The vineyard's rocky, limestone soils impart a distinct minerality and vibrant acidity to the wine, while its old-vine roots provide depth and concentration. With aromas of ripe red fruits, violets, and subtle hints of herbs, this wine offers a harmonious balance of fruit, earth, and spice on the palate. Domaine des Roches Neuves Saumur-Champigny Franc de Pied is a true expression of biodynamic winemaking at its finest.

About the Winery

Domaine des Roches Neuves

Domaine des Roches Neuves is a renowned biodynamic wine estate located in Varrains, within the Saumur appellation of the Loire Valley, France. The estate was founded in the 19th century, but it gained significant recognition after Thierry Germain took over in 1991. Originally from Bordeaux, Germain brought a meticulous, terroir-focused approach to the domaine. He transitioned the vineyards to organic farming in the late 1990s and fully adopted biodynamics by 2004. His son, Louis Germain, has since joined the estate, helping to continue and expand its legacy.
