Le Rocher des Violettes (Xavier Weisskopf)
Les Borderies Chenin Blanc


A bit muted on the nose but singing on the palate. A bit oxidized and yellow in a good way. A touch of RS. Tropical and funky.

Apr 22nd, 2019This is gorgeous. A bit funky on the nose, but the palate is beautiful white flowers, a touch of honeysuckle and a balancing acid. The apples start to show themselves with a bit of air, but they're hardly abundant.

Lovely crushed stone minerality but the acidity is so harsh on this. Great texture

Sometimes you just gotta open 'em young. This was super complex and on the drier side of demi-sec. Crushed it with curry. #cheninagins

After a quick decant, this was one of the most exciting Chenins I've had in a while. An ugly duckling for sure, but so beautiful.

I keep trying, but I’m just not a big fan of Chenin Blanc.
