Domaine du Clos des Rocs
Le Clos des Rocs is an estate with 10 hectares of vines in Pouilly-Loché and Pouilly-Fuissé. Olivier GIROUX, from a 7-generation winemaking family, raises and vinifies wines of character using organic viticulture with great respect for the terroirs.

Born into a 7-generation winegrowing family, Olivier GIROUX grew up among the vines of Fuissé. Between his family's estate and his studies, he felt a passion being born: he would be a winemaker... Eager to learn new things, he spent a few years in the wine-growing south of France. From managing a château in the Côtes du Rhône region, he returned to his roots to pamper a land he holds dear. Today, at the age of 43, this experienced winegrower devotes all his energy to sublimating the Clos des Rocs, by working organic viticulture and meticulous vinification. And his sole aim: to bring pleasure pleasure through his wines.


Clos des Rocs comprises:
5 ha 70 of pouilly-loché appellation, including 3 ha of clos des rocs monopole
6 ha 80 of mâcon-loché appellation, including 2 ha still to be planted
0 ha 40 of pouilly-fuissé appellation
0 ha 30 of mâcon-fuissé appellation
It also includes a premium wine merchant 15,000 bottles/year (pouilly and mâcon-fuissé, morgon).

"A new appellation on 1jour1vin, discover the richness of its terroir, giving birth to an elegant and simply delicious Chardonnay!"

"Domaine du Clos des Rocs' 2023 En Près Forêt is a delicious, elegant wine, with much more freshness and energy than one might expect from a warm vintage like 2023. The wine offers lovely aromas of mirabelle plum and citrus peel with a warm floral touch. The texture is light and lively, but not lacking in substance. The grapes come from 1.61 ha of mature vines at an altitude of 260 m; they are lightly crushed and very lightly pressed before fermentation. In 2023, fermentation took place exclusively in stainless steel to preserve freshness. 2025-2035" (Decanter 2024)

"Impressively powerful and dynamic, according to James Suckling, this Pouilly-Loché is a gastronomic cuvée!

"The nose has excellent depth of lemon, smoke and flint, then a very impressive dynamism and chalky minerality on the compact, medium to full-bodied palate. The stony intensity of the finish reminds me of Chablis 1er Cru, but it's welded together with more body and warmth. The finish is impressively powerful without a trace of heaviness. Made from organically grown grapes. For drinking or cellaring. (James Suckling 2024)

"Citrus zest, minerality and freshness are the watchwords of this masterfully crafted Organic Chardonnay from Clos des Rocs!

"I love the complex aromas of candied lemon slices, gunflint and oyster shells in this sophisticated white wine from Burgundy's Maconais region. The medium-bodied palate presents an elegant balance of restrained creaminess, lemony intensity and freshness. Long, mineral finish. Made from organic grapes. For drinking or cellaring. (James Suckling 2024)
