Domaine du Clos des Rocs, Pouilly-Loche, En Chantone 2018

The Domaine.
Oliver Giroux bought Le Clos des Rocs as an ambitious young winemaker back in 2002. Since then, minute attention to detail in the vineyard, organic conversion and a low intervention approach in the winery has turned it into a highly respected Maconnais estate. He has 8 hectares of vines spread over 3 local appellations - Pouilly-Loché, Pouilly-Fuissé and Macon-Fuissé.
The Wine.
Medium bodied, crisp and lively. Beautifully balanced. Orange zest, lemon, floral notes and subtly integrated oak. Serious white Burgundy that is outstanding for the price.
Offered: October 2020.
Alcohol: 13.5%
Vintage report: Plenty of rain during the winter served the vines well during a long, hot summer. The result was a high quality, bumper crop.
Drinking window: Excellent now but will age well through to 2028 if you hang on to it.
Food matching: Has the richness and intensity to make a delicious match for roast chicken.
