[Creating new value in Montlouis and Touraine]

Originally from Picardy, Xavier Weisskopf discovered viticulture while studying for his BTS in Crop Protection in Auxerre, then completed a BTS in Viticulture and Oenology in Beaune and an internship with Claude Maréchal, where his passion for winemaking began.

After four years of training under Louis Barrue at Château Saint-Come in Gigondas, he decided to forge his own destiny: at the young age of 25, with big dreams, he founded his own estate in Saint-Martin-le-Beau.

In 2005, he took over 7 hectares of old vine Chenin in Montlouis-sur-Loire and a 100-year-old Caux in Touraine.

Since 2010, he has been supported by his wife, Clémence, and this team of five to six people grows with each season.

Xavier and Clémence love a challenge and have embarked on the following projects:

Restoration of old vines

- Cellars dug into the tufa (limestone) to allow the wine to age in optimal conditions

・Construction of a four-tiered wine cellar that uses gravity to handle wine

Build agricultural buildings and a tasting cellar to turn this Touraine farm into the heart of your domaine.

Their passion and efforts are creating new value in this area.
