About the estate:
In 2002, Olivier Giroux purchased the Saint-Philibert estate in Loché, renaming it after his largest vineyard, the Clos des Rocs. He cultivates 9 hectares of vines that are about 60 years old, 6 of which are in Pouilly-Loché. In 2006, he began converting the estate to organic farming and obtained certification in 2014. This young man in his forties plays a key role in raising the profile of Pouilly-Loché wines, for which he is the finest ambassador. Minimalist in the cellar, he relies on moderate oak aging and unhurried bottling. His wines, of great purity, captivate with their crystal-clear, fresh, and subtly oaked character.
