Domaine le Rocher des Violettes

The Rocher des Violettes, located in Saint-Martin-le-Beau in Touraine, between the Cher and Loire rivers, has been run by Xavier Weisskopf since 2005. Formerly cellar master at Château Saint-Cosme in Gigondas, he moved to Montlouis-sur-Loire to highlight the potential of this terroir.
The estate covers about 13 hectares (9 in Montlouis AOC and 4 in Touraine-Amboise), with vines often over a century old, some planted before 1900. Plantings are dominated by Chenin Blanc, the emblematic grape of Montlouis, and Côt (Malbec) for the red wines.
Certified organic since 2008, the domaine harvests by hand and vinifies each parcel separately. Wines are aged in troglodyte cellars carved into local tuffeau stone, where the constant temperature (13–14 °C) ensures optimal fermentation and maturation. The wines are known for their purity, mineral tension, and excellent aging potential.
