WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine des Roches Neuves Clos de l'Échelier Saumur Blanc is a premium white wine produced by the renowned winemaker Thierry Germain in the Saumur appellation of the Loire Valley. The vineyard is situated on a hillside with a unique terroir of limestone and clay soils, which imparts a distinct minerality to the wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a natural fermentation process with indigenous yeasts, resulting in a wine that is expressive of its terroir and vintage. The wine is characterized by its bright acidity, crisp citrus flavors, and a subtle hint of floral notes. It is a perfect match for seafood, salads, and light dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Domaine des Roches Neuves Clos de l'Échelier Saumur Blanc is an elegant and complex white wine.On the nose, it exhibits aromas of white flowers, freshly cut grass, and honeycomb, with a hint of white pepper. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with flavors of ripe pear, apple, and citrus, complemented by a long finish of minerals and toasted almond. An excellent choice for lovers of French white wines.
