Description of Saumur-Champigny "Outre Terre"

Estate

The Domaine des Roches Neuves is a well-regarded estate in the Saumurois, known for its expertise in producing quality wines from the Cabernet Franc grape. The estate practices environmentally conscious and traditional methods to showcase the specific terroir of Saumur-Champigny.

Vineyard

The vineyard is located in the Saumur region, famous for its limestone and clay-limestone soils that contribute finesse and elegance to red wines. The vines benefit from a temperate climate with good sun exposure, allowing optimal ripening of Cabernet Franc.

Wine

This 2018 Saumur-Champigny expresses the Cabernet Franc variety faithfully, balancing freshness and finesse. The wine is characterized by a pleasant structure and fruity aromas typical of the region, offering good complexity without excess.

Vintage

The 2018 vintage was marked by favorable climatic conditions that allowed good ripeness of the grapes. Wines from this year typically show nice concentration and balanced structure, suitable for immediate consumption or moderate aging.

Vinification & Aging

Vinification is carried out with respect to the grape variety, with controlled extraction to preserve freshness and fruity aromas. Aging is done in stainless steel tanks to highlight the purity of the fruit and the characteristic tension of the terroir, without using oak to maintain the wine's natural profile.
