Le Rocher Des Violettes Petillant Montlouis sur Loire 2021

12% abv

Vol- 75cl

Despite being a relatively new sparkling to the market and seen somewhat as the cutting edge the méthode ancestrale pre-dates Champagne. The must is fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then bottled during the primary fermentation while still containing 14 grams of residual sugar. It continues to ferment in bottle while releasing carbon dioxide. The bottles rest 28 months on lees. They have no dosage at disgorgement. The resulting wine is dry, chalky and saline with a fine mousse.

100 % Chenin

Xavier Weisskopf founded Le Rocher des Violettes in 2005 having studied winemaking in Chablis and Beaune and completing a degree in oenology and viticulture. He began to work at Château de Saint Cosme in Gigondas and was quickly promoted to chef de cave. Xavier acquired old vine site parcels in Montlouis, mostly planted pre-WWII, with some parcels reaching 120 years old! He immediately converted his 13 hectares to certified organic viticulture and all grapes are picked by hand. The results are beautifully textured, individual dry wines with bags of personality and laser precision.
