Domaine de la Rochette is a family estate located in the Touraine and Touraine Chenonceaux appellations. It covers 46 hectares. Vincent Leclair works his vines located on the first slopes of the Cher with "parakeet" type soils that give the wines a clear character! The vines located on the plateau, more clayey, produce fresh and fruity wines....
Anecdotes about the domain
My passion is born from childhood memories spent on the Domaine. Tasting the berries, then the juice and finally the wine is a real pleasure. I like wines that are both fresh and structured but always fruity. Wine is for me a link between people, a nectar that brings brotherhood.
The domain's short story
I took over the Domaine in 2014 and made the exploitation evolve towards my sensitivity: taking into account environmental and social interests and the quality of my wines. The vines are grassed, insecticides are excluded with the use of sexual confusion, and the Domaine is equipped with a latest generation sprayer to limit the quantity of phytosanitary products. The Domaine also continues to invest in equipment in the cellar to better preserve the wine (pumps, pneumatic press, cold...). Finally, the men are at the heart of this sensitivity: hard work and fraternity are two important notions in a profession that is both demanding and rewarding.
