" Favorite s this semi-dry wine, which is superbly balanced!"

“The challenging 2023 vintage has been masterfully handled in these whites, which display a lovely briny liveliness without any pretension. We particularly favor the mouthwatering fullness of the Borderies, a semi-dry wine with a delicate balance.” (The RVF Guide 2026).

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.

Rated estate (2027 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

The challenging 2023 vintage has been masterfully handled in these whites, which offer a lovely briny liveliness without any pretension. Our favorite is the mouthwatering fullness of the Borderies, a semi-dry wine with a delicate balance.

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.
