Saumur-Champigny, Terres Chaudes, Roches Neuves - 2019

Provenance: Loire
Appellation: Saumur-Champigny
Domain: Thierry Germain
Grape variety(ies): Cabernet franc
On-call time: 10 years
Alcohol degree: 13.5%

The young Thierry Germain, who took over the famous Roches Neuves estate in the mid-90s, has come a long way. Over time, he has evolved towards a more zen and fresh style, in keeping with the local balance. This splendid Cabernet on tuff (Poyeux terroir) with notes of soot and pepper is a good example. Mouth with satiny, coated tannins, very tasty! Guide Vert RVF : 93/100

Technique

Viticulture

Location: in the commune of Chacé at a place called Les Poyeux. Terroir: chalky subsoil, an alliance of clay and sandy soils with a predominance of limestone. Average age of the vines: 35-45 years. Yield: 45 hl/ha. Organic and biodynamic work - Biodyvin label and Ecocert certification.

Oenology

Hand-picked in small boxes, sorted before vatting. 100% de-stemming. Fermentation in 60 hl truncated cone-shaped vats at a temperature of 15 to 22°C, preceded by a maceration of 2 to 5 days to allow the indigenous yeasts to start working. Infusion and pumping over every day for 5 minutes. Vatting for 15 to 20 days, followed by a one-year ageing period on fine lees in wooden vats of 60 hl and 12 hl oval. The Terres Chaudes are neither filtered nor fined before bottling.
