The Wine
Despite being a designated appellation since 1940, Pouilly-Loché is the Mâconnais’s least known subregion. It has just 32 hectares under vine, 30% of which belongs to Olivier Giroux at his 7th-generation family estate. Clos des Rocs is a 3-hectare, organically certified, monopole (single vineyard) with treasured 85-year-old vines, east-facing and planted on limestone soils. The result is a white Burgundy with intense ripe fruit, notes of hawthorn blossom and pear, shot through by gleaming-bright minerality. Very fine now, or cellar. Best to decant an hour or so beforehand, so the wine opens out. Ideal with seafood or creamy white meat dishes.

This really shows that you don’t need a 1er designation to rock the chardonnay world!
