Domaine Des Roches Neuves Franc De Pied

Domaine des Roches Neuves is located in the heart of the Loire Valley. The vineyards, which are very fragmented, consists of 61 plots, which extends over 28 hectares in the Saumur-Champigny wine appellation. Created in 1850 by the Duveau family, Thierry and Marie Germain took over the property in 1991. Most of Thierry Germain’s considerable achievements have been viewed through his red wines. This ‘Franc de Pied’ is his most celebrated, single-parcel Cabernet Franc, full of intensity and richness. It’s also made from ungrafted vines growing on their one rootstock, which is extremely rare in Europe. There’s lots of freshness here on the palate, that’s finely sculpted, powerful and juicy, with incredible depth.
