Saumur Champigny Red "Roche" 2021 | Wine from Domaine Thierry Germain

Saumur Champigny Red "Roche" 2021 | Wine from Thierry Germain's Estate

The Domaine des Roches Neuves, located in Varrains, in the heart of the Saumur region, is a jewel of Loire wines. Founded in 1850 by the Duveau family, it was taken over in 1991 by Thierry and Marie Germain. Spanning 28 hectares and divided into 61 plots, the estate produces red wines under the Saumur Champigny appellation and white wines under the Saumur appellation. Since the late 1990s, the estate has been fully converted to organic farming, adopting biodynamics in the early 2000s, ensuring wines that respect both the environment and the terroir.

The Saumur Champigny Red "Roche" 2021 is a superb expression of Cabernet Franc. This red wine is distinguished by its freshness and deliciousness, true signatures of the appellation. The grapes are harvested manually, demonstrating great attention to detail. The subtle aging process preserves the fruity aromas and delicacy of the wine. With a moderate alcohol level (12.5%), it is perfectly balanced and accessible.

• Color: Bright, clear, and brilliant ruby red.
• Nose: Delicious aromas of fresh red fruits, slightly spicy.
• Palate: A fruity and delicate attack. The tannins are velvety, almost imperceptible, and the finish is fresh and delicious, leaving an immediate sensation of pleasure.

The Saumur Champigny Red "Roche" 2021 pairs perfectly with grilled meats, white meats like roasted poultry, or even a platter of aged cheeses. Its freshness and delicacy also make it ideal with vegetarian dishes such as vegetable gratin or mushroom tart.
