Notes: Le Point 15/20, Gault Millau 14.5/20
" This year, La Roulerie offers a high-quality Anjou wine made from very healthy and pure grapes. It is still delicious, with intense notes of blackcurrant and wild strawberries that generously coat the tannins."(Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2011 Gault Millau). Vinified by the talented Thierry Germain (Domaine des Roches Neuves), this 2009 is a wine for immediate enjoyment, combining finesse and elegance to delight the taste buds. A real favorite of the 1J1V team!

About the estate:
Philippe Germain—brother of Thierry Germain, from the Roches Neuves estate in Saumur-Champigny—also works with Chenin, on schist terroirs! He cultivates 37 hectares organically (out of a total of 43), in a magnificent setting, with the château overlooking the Saint-Aubin valley. Finer pressing, slightly less ripeness at harvest for the whites, and less sulfur in the winemaking process were the adjustments that greatly improved the estate, which became part of the Germain family in 1996. Philippe took over the reins in 2004 with the firm intention of raising it to the highest level. From 2010 onwards, the turning point became apparent and the wines gained in depth and brilliance. This is a reliable address, driven by care and hard work. Well done!

About the estate:
Managed by Philippe and Marie Germain since 2004, Ch. de la Roulerie owes its prestige to its sweet wines produced in the commune of Saint-Aubin-de-Luigné. The same rigor is applied to the vinification of red wines. The vineyard, which is organically farmed, covers 40 hectares.
