The 30-year-old vines used for this cuvée are cultivated in clay-siliceous soil, which imparts great finesse and a beautiful aromatic expression to the wine. The planting density of 6,500 vines per hectare and yields limited to 35 hl/ha guarantee remarkable quality. After careful settling, the juice is aged for one year in oak barrels, resulting in a subtle and complex woody character.

Rocher des Violettes
Xavier Weisskopf works with Chenin Blanc in Montlouis with the patience of a goldsmith. Long pressings, measured aging, perfect ripeness. The wines oscillate between volume and precision, sometimes with an unexpected saline note. The dry wines are straightforward. The off-dry wines settle with disarming tranquility. An estate that listens more than it directs.
