Domaine des Rochelles

Loire Valley Cabernet and Franc from Saumur's volcanic terroir.

Domaine des Rochelles produces red wines from Saumur in the Middle Loire Valley, where Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc thrive in cool-climate conditions. The estate's portfolio centers on Anjou-Villages designations, a classification that reflects the region's volcanic soils and continental influences. Les Millerits Anjou-Villages 'Brissac' and Anjou Rouge—both built on Cabernet Sauvignon with Franc in the latter—represent the winery's core offerings. La Croix de Mission Anjou-Villages 'Brissac' adds a Franc-forward expression to the lineup. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. The Loire Valley's reputation for elegant, structured reds finds expression here through the interplay of these two classic Bordeaux varieties in a distinctly continental setting.
