More about Domaine du Clos des Rocs

Olivier Giroux runs 13 hectares in Pouilly-Loché and Pouilly-Fuissé, with his signature Clos des Rocs Monopole accounting for three hectares of 85-year-old Chardonnay on iron-rich clay and limestone. Farmed organically with minimal sulfur, the wine is mineral-driven and age-worthy. Olivier represents a new generation of Mâconnais winemakers who refuse anonymity.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine:

With its three hectares of 85-year-old Chardonnay, the Clos des Rocs produces a Pouilly-Loché like no other. Its due-easterly exposition allows for optimal ripeness, and its iron-streaked calcareous topsoil extends a mere 30 centimeters before reaching limestone mother-rock. Aged 13 months in used barrels, this wine—in true grand-cru-like fashion—synthesizes the positive attributes of all its cellarmates: gleaming acidity, fine but tunneling minerality, and stunning concentration. With their low levels of sulfur and their open-knit generosity, Olivier’s wines are never forbidding in their youth, but this deserves some time in bottle to properly unfurl its multilayered complexity.
