Domaine du Clos des Rocs own 30% of the AOC, including the monopole Clos that gives the producer its name—the top site in the village. They produce in a classical style, using all organic methods, non-manipulative wine-making and minimal use of new oak (including some extra-large 500 hl barrels to ensure no woody flavors). We have tasted the wines for several vintages now and have been impressed with everything. The Mâcon's best wines are intensely minerally, but also full of concentrated fruit. Like a blend of Chablis and Meursault. These wines do exactly that, but with a finesse and elegance that we're not so used to from the Macon. The pricing is incredible. We’ve been frustrated by rising prices in next door Pouilly-Fuissé—a trend that will only accelerate with the pending introduction of premier crus — and are happy to see that Pouilly-Loché has remained so affordable, despite having wines that are easily as good as the best that Fuissé can offer.

Focus On: Burgundy
Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.
While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!
From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
