Vineyard

Vinification

The grapes are hand-picked and transported in small crates to the winery. Upon arrival, the grapes undergo a second selection. They are destemmed and macerated for 2 to 5 days. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts takes place in 60 hl conical vats at a temperature between 15 and 22 °C. Finally, the wine matures for 1 year on its lees in a mix of 60 hl and 12 hl oval wooden vats. It is bottled unfiltered.

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.
