Tasting Note

This wine reveals an intense ruby color with a bright, luminous robe highlighted by violet-blue and cherry reflections. Initially subtle and refined, the first nose offers a reserved yet promising impression, gradually unfolding with air to reveal its depth and origin. The bouquet evolves to showcase a medley of blackcurrant, blueberry, cherry, blackberry, and raspberry, complemented by floral notes of iris, violet, and peony, alongside hints of cedar, mint, pepper, clove, and cinnamon—capturing the essence of pure Cabernet Franc fruit. The palate opens with a direct attack, followed by a rich, stewed fruitiness that adds texture, while pleasant acidity enhances freshness, accented by nuances of eucalyptus and bergamot. The result is a supple, refined, and elegant wine with a lingering, graceful finish.

Product Notes

Domaine des Roches Neuves Saumur-Champigny Terres Chaudes is a stunning expression of Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley. This wine is crafted by renowned winemaker Thierry Germain, who focuses on biodynamic practices to produce exceptional, terroir-driven wines. The name "Terres Chaudes" translates to "hot lands," reflecting the warm climate of the vineyards where the grapes are grown. The result is a wine that exudes ripe red fruit flavors, subtle earthy undertones, and a touch of spice. With a vibrant acidity and silky tannins, this wine is elegant and balanced, making it a perfect complement to a variety of dishes.

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.
