Clos des Rocs Pouilly-Loché "Clos des Rocs Monopole" dry white 2022:

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2026 (Sept 2025): 93/100.Taut and slender, still austere, Clos des Rocs monopole is meticulous and precise, well-structured, saline and mouthwatering, deserving of aging to relax a bit and reveal itself, as its texture is still tight.

One bites into ripe fruit produced on a great terroir.

APPELLATION: Pouilly-Loché

CUVÉE NAME: Clos des Rocs Monopole

GRAPE VARIETIES: Chardonnay

FARMING: Organic

AREA: 3 hectares

ALTITUDE: 250 m

AGE OF VINES: 85 years

TERRIOR AND EXPOSURE: This wine comes from a 3-hectare Clos managed with sustainable practices without the use of herbicides. The east-facing vines are 70 years old. The shallow terroir consists of reddish soil mixed with limestone stones, with rock often at 30 cm.

VINIFICATION AND AGING: After manual harvesting, the grapes are pressed slowly. A static settling, kept minimal to retain maximum material, is performed before fermentation, which is often very long. This occurs thanks to the indigenous yeasts naturally present on the grapes. No additives except for sulfites (with care) disturb the birth of this wine.

TASTING: A wine with a powerful nose, delicate with notes of hawthorn and pears. The palate is round and generous with ripe fruit, supported by balance and purity. A very great wine for aging, already enjoyable to taste.

FOOD AND WINE PAIRINGS: Pairs wonderfully with the finest moments of gastronomy around shellfish, fish, and other Bresse poultry in cream.

Serve at 14°C.
