The 50-hectare Domaine des Roches Neuves is run by Bordelais Thierry Germain who originally was from Bordeaux and is situated in the appellation of Saumur-Champigny.

The winery has existed since 1850, and since purchasing the estate in 1991, Thierry run it with such incredible will and tenacity that turned Domaine des Roches Neuves into one of the finest wineries/farms in France. Not to forget it wasn’t without the help of his mentor and spiritual father Charly Foucault of Clos Rougeard

The estate is run strictly along biodynamic lines, harvesting is manual and yields are low.

This stunning wine pairs well with pork rillettes, lamb shank confit, grilled artichokes. Try it with just cheeses and charcuterie
