Purchased in 1996 by Bernard Germain, this 11th-century Chateau was the site of some fantastic winemaking. Unfortunately, after several bad vintages and the original owner's death, Roulerie went into a 20-year hibernation before its rebirth under the direction of Phillippe Germain, Bernard's son. Since 2004, Phillippe has restored the fields and caves to their former glory, and planted healthy vines in schist soils on a southern exposure. All the fruit comes from organic plots in Anjou and Coteaux du Layon, yielding ripe grapes with balanced acids and sugars. This unfined Chenin is fermented in large neutral casks for 20 days and then aged on the lees for 4 to 6 months for a medium-bodied, fruity yet crisp wine with Luscious Pear, linden flowers, and green papaya notes. An amazing value in Loire Chenin Blanc!
