Thierry Germain

Domaine des Roches Neuves is a highly acclaimed wine producer located in the Loire Valley region of France. Founded in 1992 by winemaker Thierry Germain, the domaine has become known for its exceptional biodynamic wines that showcase the unique terroir of the Saumur-Champigny appellation.

Situated in the heart of the Loire Valley, the Saumur-Champigny appellation is known for its red wines made from Cabernet Franc grapes. The region's cool climate and limestone-rich soils provide the perfect conditions for producing elegant and aromatic wines. Domaine des Roches Neuves takes full advantage of these natural characteristics and combines them with Germain's careful winemaking techniques to create some of the most sought-after wines in the region.

Germain's commitment to biodynamic farming practices is evident in every aspect of the domaine's operations. He believes in working in harmony with nature and uses only organic and biodynamic methods to cultivate his vines. This approach not only produces healthier grapes but also allows the unique terroir of the region to shine through in the wines.

Domaine des Roches Neuves offers a range of red wines, including single-vineyard bottlings, that are all crafted with the utmost care and attention. The flagship wine of the domaine is the "Terres Chaudes," which is made from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes grown on the warmest and sunniest plots of land in the appellation. This wine is a perfect example of Germain's winemaking philosophy, showcasing the terroir and the character of the grape variety in a balanced and elegant wine.

In addition to their red wines, Domaine des Roches Neuves also produces a limited quantity of white wines made from Chenin Blanc grapes. These wines are characterized by their freshness, minerality, and complex flavors, reflecting the unique terroir of the Loire Valley.
