Philippe Germain, brother of Thierry (of Domaine des Roches Neuves) owns a magnificent property in Saint-Aubin-de-Luignié, Château de la Roulerie. Its vines of Chenin are south-west facing, not far from the Quarts-de-Chaume terroir. Philippe Germain’s work both in the vineyard and cellar is precise and painstaking. One of the region’s safe bets!

The vineyard managed by Nicolas Joly is cultivated biodynamically. Three cuvées of white wines are produced: La Coulée de Serrant, Clos de la Bergerie and Les Vieux Clos, all of very good quality. The cuvée des Vieux Clos exudes aromas of ripe fruit, a powerful palate and a beautiful finish.
