"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.

Domaine du Clos des Rocs
Pouilly-Loché
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
In 2002, Olivier Giroux bought Domaine Saint-Philibert in Loché, renaming it Clos des Rocs after his largest parcel. He now farms 9 hectares of vines around 60 years old, 6 of which are Pouilly-Loché. In 2006, he began converting the estate to organic farming, obtaining certification in 2014. This young man in his forties is helping to raise the profile of Pouilly-Loché wines, of which he is the best ambassador. With little intervention in the cellar, he relies on moderate wood ageing and unhurried bottling. His cuvées of great purity seduce with their crystalline, fresh, finely-wooded juices.
