About the estate:
Originally from the Oise region, Xavier Weisskopf established his vineyard (17 hectares of organic land) in 2005. Nothing had set him on this path, but his studies in Chablis introduced him to the world of wine, leading him to the “Viti” in Beaune, then to Gigondas, and finally to the banks of the Loire.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 90/100 (2020 vintage)
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 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!

Review and comment by Mr. GILLES D. Published on May 21, 2025
Here is an intriguing 100% Malbec from the Loire Valley, carefully crafted and aged, showcasing the vintage’s lively and fresh structure and a dense, straightforward palate, framed by tight, silky tannins, with subtly extracted fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, in particular), and subtle smoky notes. The wine is full-bodied, light, and a touch rustic for my taste, ending quickly with a slightly chalky finish. The price is a bit overrated. This young Touraine was paired with a forest-style entrecôte. Rating = 3.5.
