Description

The richness and structure of a white wine from Saumur-Champigny

The estate

At the helm of the Roches Neuves estate, Thierry Germain is one of the greatest Anjou winemakers of his generation. The son of Bordeaux winegrowers, he wanted to build his own estate and embarked on an adventure in 1992 by taking over the Roches Neuves estate, which had existed since 1850. The Thierry Germain - Domaine des Roches Neuves estate is located in Varrains, in the Saumur region.

The vineyard

Thierry Germain - Domaine des Roches Neuves' Franc de Pied 2020 is a Saumur-Champigny wine made from a vineyard based in Saumur and resting on sandy soil. The vineyard is worked with draught horses and is managed in an organic and biodynamic manner. The estate bears the Biodyvin and Ecocert labels.

Vinification and ageing

The grapes are harvested by hand in small boxes and are rigorously sorted on a table before being vatted on a conveyor belt. Fermentation in oval vats between 16 and 22°C to optimise a gentle extraction. End of fermentation at 24°C. Vatting time for 8 to 10 days. Vinification in whole bunches.
