Montlouis-sur-Loire Les Borderies Le Rocher des Violettes 2021
13%
0.75L
Intensity
"Les Borderies" is produced from Chenin Blanc grapes within the Touraine appellation and under the Montlouis sur Loire AOC designation. The wine's ageing potential (15 years) can be attributed to an expressive terroir of tuffeaux, clay, flint and sandy soil, beside the Loire and Cher rivers. This is a distinguished, elegant and refined wine with aromas of white fruit and delicate honey and toasted almond notes.

About the Producer Domaine du Rocher des Violettes
Xavier Weisskopf established Domaine Rocher des Violettes in 2005. He was born in the Oise region in 1979 and trained as a winegrower in Chablis. He continued his apprenticeship in Beaune where he became cellar master at Gigondas before creating his own property. His vineyard parcels are dotted around the commune of Saint-Martin-Le-Beau with 9 hectares in Montlouis and 4 hectares in the Touraine AOP. The vines are mature in age and Xavier Weisskopf does not use chemical fertilisers or products. Harvests are carried out by hand and every effort is made to limit oxidation and to preserve the wines’ integrity. If you have not already done so, it is well worth trying these wines which are currently superb.
