From the talented hands of Xavier Weisskopf at Le Rocher des Violettes, this 2023 Chenin Blanc is a fresh and expressive wine that showcases the purity and vibrancy of the Loire Valley. Brimming with citrus, green apple, and delicate floral aromas, it captures the essence of the grape in its most lively form.

The nose is bright with fresh lemon, lime, and apple, accompanied by a subtle floral perfume that adds elegance. On the palate, it is crisp and clean, with lively acidity that enhances the fruit and brings balance. The mineral core adds depth, creating a refreshing finish that lingers with citrus and a hint of stone.

Perfect for pairing with seafood, goat cheese, or light salads, this Chenin Blanc is an excellent choice for those seeking a refreshing white. While it’s delicious now, its structure suggests that it will continue to evolve over time, offering even more layers and complexity as it ages.

"The 2023 Chenin is dry, clean and pure-fruited. Youthful, with a focus on the fresh fruit that's all pear and honeydew melon, it’s light in body but rounded. This is a silky, appealing style that has some nice juicy fruit. It’s attractive from day one." —Rebecca Gibb MW
