Wine Advocate Tasting Note

Crafted from vines planted on 2.8 hectares of gray clay soils, the 2023 Montlouis Sec Cuvee Touche Mitane offers up a fresh, gourmand bouquet of confit citrus, white peach, menthol and spring flowers. Moderately weighted and elegant, it's juicy with bright acids and a long, mouthwatering finish.

About the Producer

The Domaine Le Rocher des Violettes has quickly established itself as a benchmark in Montlouis-sur-Loire, in the heart of the Loire Valley. Founded in the mid-2000s by Xavier Weisskopf, the estate has rapidly propelled its wines to the top. This passionate winemaker, drawing on experience gained in Burgundy and the Rhône Valley, found in the Montlouis terroir an ideal place for Chenin Blanc to express itself. The vineyard is cultivated using organic farming methods with a low-intervention approach, allowing the terroir to fully shine. The wines of Le Rocher des Violettes are distinguished by their tension and minerality, offering a vibrant expression of Chenin typical of this part of the Loire. Among the iconic cuvées, one finds with pleasure Le Grand Clos, Touche Mitaine, La Negrette, and Les Borderies, not to mention the elegant Touraine Cot Vieilles Vignes. It is a beautiful range that reveals the remarkable potential of this Loire terroir, driven by an inspired winemaker. Among the most sought-after cuvées are Le Rocher des Violettes Montlouis-sur-Loire Cuvée Touche Mitaine Sec, Le Rocher des Violettes Montlouis-sur-Loire 'Le Grand Clos', and Le Rocher des Violettes Montlouis-sur-Loire La Negrette—all useful benchmarks for understanding the identity of the estate.
