In a clear, intense golden color, Les Rochats opens with a nose of fresh, zesty lemon aromas. With a clean, fresh attack, the 2014 is still restrained and will need some time in bottle to fully express itself. Great ageing potential!

About the domain :
Dom. de la Croix Senaillet was founded in 1969 by Maurice Martin, who gradually abandoned mixed farming in favor of vines. In 1990, his son Richard took over the family estate, before being joined by his brother Stéphane in 1992. The property, initially 6.5 ha, has grown to 25 ha today, spread over 52 parcels that have been certified organic since 2010. Building on their experience, in 2015 the brothers acquired Dom. de Mont Épin in Clessé (13 ha).
