Guide Hachette des vins

Rated estate (2027 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

A native of the Oise region, Xavier Weisskopf established his vineyard (17 hectares of organic vineyards) in 2005. Nothing seemed to point him toward this career, but his studies in Chablis introduced him to the world of wine, which led him to the “Viti” in Beaune, then to Gigondas, and finally to the banks of the Loire. One of the very best estates in Touraine.

About the wine:

A subtle smoky and herbal note emerges in this elegant, graceful, and refined white wine. Everything is executed with meticulous care and a distinct sense of freedom.

About the estate:

The Le Rocher des Violettes estate was founded in 2005 by Xavier Weisskofp. It consists of plots of land that at the time belonged to several local farmers. Xavier Weisskofp worked in the Rhône Valley before moving to the Loire Valley. The Le Rocher des Violettes estate initially comprised 6 hectares of vineyards. The winemaker comes from a family of farmers. He discovered winemaking in Chablis at age 18 while studying agriculture and specialized in viticulture the following year. Fifty percent of the production is destined for high-end restaurants and wine shops, and just under 10 percent is sold to private customers. Since 2008, the Le Rocher des Violettes estate has been producing organic wine.

Review by Mr. HERVE O. Published on April 17, 2026

When enjoyed as an aperitif, it’s perfectly balanced, very pleasant, with honey notes characteristic of Chenin
