Domaine de ROCHEVILLE - AOC Saumur
La Dame de Rocheville is part of the great tradition of white wines of the “Côte”. Picked from round the medieval church of Parnay on the sloping banks of the Loire.

The ambition of the Domaine de Rocheville is to reinstate the tradition of great white wines in this terroir.An exceptional white wine with hints of vanilla and toast. After a frank but delicate attack the mouth opens to intensity and volume. The final taste is tender and fresh.100% Chenin Blanc on sandy clay from the late Turonian period. South-South east exposed.
