    Description 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.

    Grape Variety

    Cabernet Franc

    Characteristics & Tasting

    Tasting

    • Appearance: Clear ruby red with purple highlights.
    • Nose: Aromas of fresh red berries such as raspberry and cherry, with subtle herbal notes.
    • Palate: Balanced palate with good freshness, fine tannins, and a slightly peppery finish typical of Cabernet Franc.

    Serving

    Serve at 14-16°C. A light decanting of about one hour can help open up the aromas, especially if the wine is consumed young.

    Food Pairings

    This Saumur-Champigny pairs well with roasted free-range chicken, river trout fillet, country pâté en croûte, or a fresh local goat cheese.

    Occasions

    Ideal for a family lunch, a meal with friends, or a summer dinner on the terrace.

    Aging Potential

    Can be enjoyed now but will gain complexity over 5 to 7 years. Expected peak between 2023 and 2025.
