Tasting note
Le Grand Rochoy: From the oldest vines on Domaine du Rochoy hillside. Unique flinty soil, pure elegance, and character. Keep up to 10 years.
Viticulture
Le Domaine du Rochoy is a 10-hectare slope, unique in the region of Sancerre. Soaking up the heat in the daytime, the flint rocks of the vineyard slowly cool in the night. Le Grand Rochoy is produced from the old vines of this prestigious slope which represents 2.5 ha.
Vinification
Our wine undergoes a unique process: 50% ferments in stainless steel tanks at 15-20°C, and the other 50% in oak barrels. No yeasting or malolactic fermentation is used. It matures on fine lees for a year, vacuum-bottled in darkly tinted bottles with high-quality corks. Additional 6 months bottle maturation before sale.
Food Match
Excellent with seafood, fish or white meat.
