Pouilly-Loché is a 32 hectare appellation in the Maconnais region of Burgundy dating back to the 1940s though it is relatively unknown in many North American wine markets. The soils are characterized by iron-rich clay and limestone. The wines from this region are typically leaner than wines from neighboring Pouilly Fuisse and are characterized by a touch of earth, bright minerality and depth of fruit.
Domaine du Clos des Rocs owns nearly 30% of the vineyards in the appellation and the estate counts 8.6 hectares of vines across seven parcels, principally in Pouilly-Loché, with plots in Macon-Loché and Pouilly-Fuissé.
Tasting Notes
This is a beautifully textured Chardonnay, with saline notes, prominent minerality and impeccable balance; the most complete wine of the domaine and an essential reference point for this worthy but relatively unknown appellation. Enjoy with seafood, chicken dishes, soft cheeses.
Method
No chemical products are used in the vineyard and though Olivier is committed to organic processes from start to finish. All grapes are manually harvested before a long pressing, followed by alcoholic fermentation using only indigenous yeasts. This is the signature wine of the estate, the enclosed 3ha parcel is located adjacent to the winery. The vines are 70 years old with an eastern exposition, and the soil is a mix of iron-rich red clay and limestone pebbles.
