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.
