Tasting note
From the estate's oldest vines, an intense Sancerre with pure, citric acidity, flavours of currants and a dusting of spice.
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
After racking at low temperature, 50% of the wine ferments for 10 days in stainless steel tanks at temperatures ranging from 15° to 20°C and 50% ferments in oak barrels. No yeasting nor malolactic fermentation is used. Matured on its fine lees for 1 year then vacuum-bottled. The wine undergoes additional maturation for at least 6 months in the bottle.
Food Match
Excellent with seafood, fish or white meat.
