The 50-hectare Domaine des Roches Neuves is run by Bordelais Thierry Germain and is situated in the appellation of Saumur-Champigny. The winery has existed since 1850, and since purchasing the estate in 1991, Thierry has turned it into one of the finest in France.
The estate is run strictly along biodynamic lines, harvesting is manual and yields are low. Vinification is carried out only in small batches and the wines are neither filtered not fined.
Fruit from many parcels of the estate, from young to very old, all destemmed, fermented in stainless steel for 8-10 days and aged in stainless steel and wood tanks, on fine lees, without sulphites for 3 to 4 months.
