Domaine Roc de Chāteauvieux Description

Coming from a winemaking family for several generations, Domaine Rochette created their domain in 1981. With 15 hectares of vines planted in Gamay, they produce five different wines, including 4 crus. The area is located 300 meters on the hillside overlooking the Ardière Valley.

The estate originally began with Joël’s Great-Great Grandfather Joseph Jambon, in the split village of Villié-Morgon. The Jambons continued for two more generations in Villié-Morgon until 1936, when Joseph Jambon (3rd generation) moved the estate to nearby Régnié-Durette due to lack of space at the original cellar. Marius Rochette, Joël’s father, took the reins from Joseph in the late 1950s and immediately expanded the estate’s acreage. Some 20 years later, in 1979, with his father being too young (47) to think about retiring, Joël Rochette decided to create his own estate, also located in Régnié-Durette. Joël purchased a small amount of land and the rest of his land under vine he rented from his family’s estate. At the end of 2008, Joël’s son, Matthieu, joined his father after three years of work with a local off-site pre-bottling filtration company in the region.

This 2023 is bright, yellow appearance. Light and smooth on the palate with aromas of citrus fruits. Round and fresh, it has a lovely persistence on the palate. As an aperitif, this dry white wine will match with seafood, fishes and goat cheese.
