Saumur Clos Romans Domaine Des Roches Neuves Saumur, 2019

Saumur Clos Romans 2019 from Domaine des Roches Neuves is a pure, terroir-driven Chenin Blanc from the Loire, known for its precision, mineral depth, and refined balance. From one of Saumur’s most acclaimed single vineyards, it showcases the elegance and age-worthiness that have made Chenin Blanc such a historic Loire signature.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright, pale golden hue with a luminous edge. The nose is expressive yet finely drawn, with notes of white flowers, ripe orchard fruit, citrus peel, quince, and a distinctive chalky, stony minerality that gives the wine its signature tension. On the palate, it is textured and layered, combining freshness with a subtle richness that Chenin Blanc handles so well. Expect flavors of pear, yellow apple, lemon zest, and wet stone, carried by vibrant acidity and a long, saline finish. With its concentration and structure, this wine has excellent aging potential and should develop beautifully over time, gaining more honeyed, nutty, and complex nuances.

Production
Clos Romans comes from a prized single vineyard in Saumur, where Chenin Blanc benefits from Loire’s cool climate and limestone-rich soils that lend the wine its minerality and drive. Domaine des Roches Neuves is known for careful vineyard work and low-intervention winemaking, allowing the site’s character to remain front and center. The 2019 vintage was crafted to emphasize purity, balance, and expression of terroir rather than heavy extraction or overt oak influence.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with shellfish, grilled white fish, roast chicken, creamy poultry dishes, and soft cheeses such as goat’s cheese or young Comté. Serve chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider decanting briefly if you want to open up its aromatic complexity in its youth.
