Saumur Blanc l' Insolite 2022 - Domaine des Roches-Neuves

Saumur Blanc the Insolite - Domaine des Roches-Neuves

Obtained from pure Chenin Blanc grapes that come from old 83-year-old vines. Fermentation is spontaneous and occurs in barriques of 225 and 400 L for 1/3 new and for 2/3 of second passage. Next, refine the 12-month fine lees in 1200 liters barrels. The Insolite Saumur Blanc has a pale yellow color. At the nose, the scents remind you of the citrus notes, with grapefruit and lemon balm, and mentored notes. In the mouth it is crisp, mineral and has good freshness.

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature of 8/10 in tulipane goblets. Saumur Blanc the Insolite is about to swim immediately but will express the best of himself in a few years. In the meantime, it is advisable to keep it in a horizontal position in a fresh, humid and dark cellar.

Pairing

The Insolite Saumur Blanc fits perfectly with the first dishes with vegetables, fishy seconds, to be tried with a grilled persian fish.

Cave: Domaine des Roches-Neuves

Domaine des Roches-Neuves is located in Varrains, a small village not far from Saumor, in the center of the Loire. Its foundation dates back to 1850 and is now being carried by Thierry and Philippe Germain who acquired the Domaine in 1993 after searching for parcels from France to Hungary. Domaine des Roches-Neuves is made up of 22 hectares of vineyards, all cultivated under biodynamic conditions, which are found on chalky and tuffy soils. Cultivated vineyards are all indigenous to the Loire as the Chnin Blanc, which perhaps reaches the maximum expression, and the Cabernet Franc. Over the last few years, Thierry has been trying to reduce the alcoholic strength of its wines and to sharpen them as little as possible in wood to get the fruit out, and the result of much work in the glass. Thierry's wines are mineral and elegant, deep and long. Try the "Unusual" Chenin Blanc base and refine the wood.
