The Story
Still biodynamic red from the Loire, produced by Domaine des Roches Neuves (Thierry Germain), 12.5% ABV, 100% Cabernet Franc, 2021 vintage. A wine born from the passion of Thierry Germain, who cultivates his vineyards using biodynamic methods, for a wine that best expresses the terroir. Manual harvesting in wooden crates, sorting on a table before being placed in vats. 100% destemmed. Fermentation in 60 hl truncated cone-shaped vats at a temperature between 15°C and 22°C, after a 2-5 day maceration that allows the native yeasts to begin working. Aged on the fine lees in 12 hl and 60 hl oval wooden vats. Intense ruby red, with a luminous and brilliant appearance with blue-violet and cherry hues. A complex wine that expresses all the fruit of Cabernet Franc. The attack is direct. The stewed fruit adds depth. With a pleasant acidity, aromas of eucalyptus and bergamot are evident.
