Six generations of winemaking excellence in the Loire Valley
- Cultivated under organic principles since the late 1990s and biodynamic methods from the early 2000s, this estate represents a commitment to terroir-driven viticulture. Thierry Germain, himself descended from Bordeaux vignerons, has established Domaine des Roches Neuves as a beacon of sustainable practice in Saumur.
- This cuvée captures the essence of Cabernet Franc with remarkable clarity—bright fruit expression tempered by mineral restraint. The wine demonstrates the elegance and intellectual purity that distinguishes the finest expressions of the appellation.
- A wine built for contemplation and cellaring. The structure and balance suggest that time will only deepen its complexity, revealing further layers of nuance as the vintage matures gracefully.

Breeding
Approximately 12 to 18 months in oval wooden vats of 12 to 25 hectolitres
On the eye
Vivid ruby with violet reflections, suggesting youth and vitality
On the nose
Elegant and restrained, offering delicate aromas of cherry and strawberry with subtle mineral undertones characteristic of the schist terroir
In the mouth
Ample and suave on the palate, with a silken texture that builds to a refined, lifted finish. The wine balances richness with an underlying precision
Where La Marginale expresses power and opulence, L'Échelier embodies spirit and finesse. This is arguably Saumur's most Burgundian expression—possessing the straightness and elegance of Chambolle-Musigny's finest terroirs. A cerebral wine of absolute purity, it represents the pinnacle of Germain's work with Cabernet Franc's mineral potential. Pair with grilled meats.
