Saumur Clos Romans Domaine Des Roches Neuves Saumur, 2018

Saumur Clos Romans 2018 from Domaine des Roches Neuves is a beautifully expressive Chenin Blanc from one of the Loire’s most respected names. Grown in a prized clos in Saumur, it combines precision, texture and mineral depth in a style that captures both the finesse of the vintage and the character of the site.

Tasting Notes
Pale golden in the glass, it typically shows a bright, refined profile with aromas of white flowers, ripe pear, quince, citrus peel and subtle wet stone notes. On the palate, Chenin Blanc’s hallmark tension comes through clearly: vibrant acidity, layered orchard and stone fruit, a lightly waxy texture, and a long, saline finish. The wine has the structure and concentration to age gracefully, gaining complexity and honeyed depth over time.

Production
Clos Romans is a vineyard site in Saumur with chalky, limestone-driven soils that lend the wine its precise mineral edge and freshness. Domaine des Roches Neuves is known for careful vineyard work and a focus on expressing terroir, with grapes harvested by hand and vinified to preserve purity and balance. The result is a dry Chenin Blanc shaped by gentle, thoughtful winemaking and a clear sense of place.

Food & Serving
Serve this wine slightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, with no need for decanting unless you want to let it open after early bottling. It pairs especially well with shellfish, roast chicken, creamy fish dishes, goat’s cheese and vegetable-forward cuisine, where its acidity and mineral finish can shine.

Producer
Domaine des Roches Neuves is a benchmark producer in the Saumur region of the Loire Valley, widely admired for its refined, terroir-driven wines. Founded in the early 1990s and later elevated by Thierry Germain’s biodynamic approach, the estate has earned a strong reputation for precision, elegance and site expression. Its wines are among the most sought-after examples of modern Loire Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc.
