About the estate:
Originally from the Oise region, Xavier Weisskopf established his vineyard (17 hectares of organic land) in 2005.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
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:
Starting out with limited resources in a makeshift cellar in 2005, Clémence and Xavier Weisskopf have managed, through courage and tenacity, to build their own vineyard. For several years now, they have been among the leading producers in Montlouis-sur-Loire. The 17 hectares, spread between Montlouis and Touraine, are farmed Organic. Touche Mitaine (flinty clay), Les Borderies (clay-limestone, 40-year-old vines), Le Grand Poirier (clay-sandy, 67-year-old vines)... A myriad of terroirs has been captured in the bottle, in whites that aim for aromatic nuance, delicacy, and the true expression of Chenin Blanc—whether dry or with residual sugar, depending on the character of the vintage. Wines of great sincerity that delight the palate!

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

A straightforward Chenin, perfectly balanced with white floral notes, crisp and delicate. It’s magnificent in its tension and elegance.
