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 vineyards and caves to their former glory. Densely planted in schist on a southern exposure, all the fruit comes from organic vines 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, dry yet fruity wine with waxy stone fruit, dried pineapple, and a crisp apple/pear finish. A great value in Loire Chenin Blanc! Vegan.
