Clos des Rocs - Pouilly-Loché Les Mûres 2022
93/100
James Suckling
"Citrus zest, minerality, and freshness are the hallmarks of this Organic Chardonnay Organic Clos des Rocs: a masterpiece!"
"I love the complex aromas of candied lemon slices, flint, and oyster shells in this sophisticated white wine from the Maconais region of Burgundy. The medium-bodied palate offers an elegant balance between restrained creaminess, citrus intensity, and freshness. Long, mineral finish. Made from organically grown grapes. Drink now or cellar." (James Suckling 2024)

About the estate:
In 2002, Olivier Giroux bought the Saint-Philibert estate in Loché, renaming it after its largest plot, Clos des Rocs. He cultivates 9 hectares of vines that are around 60 years old, including 6 hectares in Pouilly-Loché. In 2006, he began converting the estate to organic farming, obtaining certification in 2014. This young forty-something is helping to raise the profile of Pouilly-Loché wines, of which he is the best ambassador. He takes a minimalist approach in the cellar, relying on moderate wood aging and unhurried bottling. His wines are characterized by their great purity and appeal with their crystalline, fresh, and delicately wooded flavors.
