Vineyard

The grapes come from biodynamically managed vineyards with a subsoil of chalky tuffeau, typical of Saumur. Yields are low, and harvesting is done by hand to preserve the quality of the grapes. In the vineyard, minimal intervention is practised to respect the natural expression of the terroir. A late harvest ensures the grapes are fully ripe, which contributes to the aromatic intensity of the wine.

Winemaking

The wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle according to the traditional method. It matures for 9 to 18 months sur lattes, which ensures complexity and finesse. No sugar is added during disgorgement, making it a Brut Nature: dry, pure, and direct. Sometimes, a portion of the wine is fermented in old oak barrels to add extra texture. In vinification, Thierry Germain focuses entirely on the maximum expression of the grape and the terroir.

Domaine des Roches Neuves

Frankrijk · Loire

Roches Neuves kreeg in 1992 een nieuw hoofdstuk toen Thierry Germain zich in Saumur vestigde. De historische wijngaarden, waarvan sommige teruggaan tot 1850, waren voordien eigendom van Denis Duveau. Dankzij de inspirerende vriendschap met Charly Foucault van Clos Rougeard groeide Thierry uit tot één van de grote voortrekkers van de biodynamische wijnbouw in de Loire. Sinds 2004 werkt het domein volledig volgens deze filosofie.
