    Estate

    Domaine des Roches Neuves is a well-regarded family estate located in the heart of the Loire Valley. It is known for its elegant and expressive wines, predominantly made from the Chenin grape. The estate is recognized for its respect of terroirs and sustainable viticultural practices aimed at producing authentic and high-quality wines.

    Vineyard

    Located in the Saumur appellation within the Saumurois, the vineyard benefits from exceptional limestone-rich soils ideal for Chenin cultivation. The clay-limestone soils promote aromatic expression and characteristic minerality in the white wines of this region. Optimal sun exposure ensures a perfect balance between ripeness and freshness.

    The 2018 vintage enjoyed favorable climatic conditions, with a sunny and dry summer allowing excellent grape ripening. This wine shows good concentration and finesse with an interesting aging potential. No specific Parker or RVF ratings are mentioned for this vintage.

    Vinification & Aging

    Careful vinification preserves the freshness and expression of Chenin, followed by aging on fine lees to round out the texture and enhance the aromatic profile without losing vivacity. This process contributes to the wine’s balance and complexity.
