The Estate
In the heart of the Saumur Champigny appellation, perched on the hillside of Parnay, close to the medieval church, the Domaine de Rocheville offers an exceptional panorama of the Loire Valley and the Saumur vineyards.
It is an unusual place, between modernity and tradition, which invites you to share and discover, its unique contemporary architecture cellar, overhanging ancient troglodytic cellars.
It is also an eco-responsible and certified organic estate that constantly strives to protect biodiversity and nature, both in the winery and in the vineyards, for the pleasure of your taste buds and the respect of your health.
In the age-old cradle of Chenin Blanc, the Domaine de Rocheville passionately produces Saumur Blanc and Crémant de Loire.
It also cultivates another famous grape variety, Cabernet Franc, which gives birth to Saumur Champigny and Saumur Rosé.
The wines of Rocheville find their best expression on the tufa soil, so characteristic of the Saumur region…

Once upon a time...
Philippe Porché, wine enthusiast, who had been looking for vines near Saumur for several years to fulfil his youthful dream.
At the end of 2004, he found his first acres on the hillside of Parnay, the historical cradle of his favourite grape variety, Chenin.
He encourages his wife Agnès and Jérôme Callet, a young winegrower, who are equally passionate about this adventure, to follow him.
Thus was born the Domaine de Rocheville, one of the last estates created in the Saumur Champigny Appellation.
