Le Grand Clos is a prestigious cuvée made from old Chenin vines grown on clay-limestone plots and aged for 10 months in 500-liter barrels. This process gives the wine a refined structure and a velvety texture. Perfect with cream-based poultry dishes, fish in sauce, and goat cheese, it is best served at 12°C.

Rocher des Violettes
Xavier Weisskopf cultivates Chenin in Montlouis with meticulous precision, akin to a goldsmith's patience. His approach involves extended pressings, judicious aging, and optimal ripeness. The resulting wines oscillate between ample volume and linear precision, occasionally exhibiting an unexpected saline note. The dry wines are remarkably direct, while the off-dry wines settle with disarming tranquility. This is a domain that prioritizes listening over dictating.
