Xavier Weisskopf is one of the Loire's most thrilling Chenin talents, and this is your low-stakes entry into his world. He studied in Chablis and Beaune and put in four years at Saint Cosme in Gigondas before buying Le Rocher des Violettes in Montlouis-sur-Loire in 2005, where he farms organically certified vines, many planted before 1940. This is a dry Chenin Blanc from those old vines, made with the same purity and precision he brings to his bottlings. Drink it now, well chilled, or hold a year or two.

More about Le Rocher des Violettes (Xavier Weisskopf)

Xavier Weisskopf studied winemaking in Chablis and Beaune, then spent four vintages at Château de Saint Cosme in Gigondas, rising to cellar master. His love of Chenin Blanc brought him to Montlouis, where he founded Le Rocher des Violettes in 2005 with nine hectares of old vines, mostly planted before World War II, converted straight to organic farming. He ages the wines in older barrels and chases clarity, focus and precision. Chenin is the heart, with some Touraine Cabernet Franc and Côt too.
