Thierry Germain - Roches Neuves
Domaine Thierry Germain - Roches Neuves has been passionately and enthusiastically run by Thierry Germain since 1991. Domaine Thierry Germain - Roches Neuves has become a famous and beautiful 22-hectare estate located in Varrains, in the Saumur Blanc and Saumur-Champigny appellations, in the Loire Valley. Since 1850, this vineyard has been planted on an exceptional terroir characteristic of the Saumur region: a chalky subsoil called Tuffeau, combined with clayey-sandy soils with a predominance of limestone. The Thierry Germain - Roches Neuves vineyard is planted with Cabernet franc and Chenin grapes, and has been biodynamically farmed since 2004, with careful, rigorous tillage.

In the new Domaine Thierry Germain - Roches Neuves winery, the grapes are carefully sorted before being transferred to wooden vats, where they are vinified separately. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand, in successive sortings. Fermentation takes place in the cellar at low temperature for 3 to 4 months, to develop the full aromatic palette and freshness of Thierry Germain - Roches Neuves wines.
