On the Côte de Parnay, 7km from Saumur, in the heart of the small, prestigious Saumur-Champigny appellation, I created the Domaine de Rocheville in 2005, in the pure tradition of craft wine-making. Devoted to Chenin and passionate about Cabernet-Franc, with my team, I seek the deep expression of these varieties to offer you new emotions at every tasting. Always committed to sustainable and integrated vine growing methods, we have been certified Terra Vitis since 2011 and organic agriculture since 2019. We create red, white and rosé wines and have recently begun making sparkling wines of high quality. Our wines are recognised each year in large competitions and the best guides. In our range of Saumur-Champigny, 100% Cabernet-Franc, you will enjoy the red and black fruit aromas, the elegance and the adaptability to marry with many dishes. Our 100% Chenin white Saumur will surprise you with its grace and minerality. Our 100% Cabernet-Franc rosé Saumur, dry, tender and subtle, will marry perfectly with your exotic summer dishes. Finally, our new Crément de Loire will bring a touch of elegance and subtlety to your aperitifs and cocktails. Come and taste them after a guided tour of the vines or a visit to the winery. We will explain our philosophy and even give away a few wine-makers' secrets! You can visit one of the rare wineries in the Loire Valley built in contemporary style, nestled in the heart of the vines and on troglodyte caves, with an unobstructed view over the village and the Loire from the panoramic terrace.
Philippe Porché
A Saumur Blanc full of grace and freshness. A nose of white flowers with citrus and exotic fruits in the mouth, discretely toasted and a very vibrant and pleasant finish.La Jouvencelle makes a marvellous aperitif and accompaniment to oysters, seafood and grilled fish as well as sauerkraut, a blanquette of veal, blue cheeses or goats cheese.

The Cabernet-France variety reveals all of its potential here, while the mature structure retains good freshness and really expresses the terroir! The cuvéé Le Prince is a real wine for friendship and harmony, which we rarely find. Very enjoyable to drink while still young to reveal its magnificent aromas of red fruits, where raspberry and blackcurrant...

Sand and silt on the surface, covered with pebbles that absorb the heat and drain the soil. Below that is a layer of clay that feeds the vines and below that tufa, a magical stone that absorbs and then releases humidity like a sponge as and when the grapes need it. These are the geological conditions that have made Brézé one of the best areas for Blanc...
