Clos des Rocs Pouilly Loché Les Mures 2018
Pouilly-Loché, Mâconnais, Burgundy, FranceFuissé's Saint-Philibert estate belonged to a family of winegrowers for 7 generations before Olivier Giroux bought it in 2002. He gave it the name Clos de Rocs, and converted the entire estate (10 ha of vineyards) to organics. This comes from a 1 hectare plot of 40 year old vines on limestone laden gravels. This was native fermented in stainless, where it remained for 11 months on lees. Fresh lemon, tight white florals, crunchy pear lead into a creamy, lees-decked palate, brightened with lemon peel and pith, and riding a base of crushed stones to a grippy, saline finish. Lovely authenticity and typicity of place here. Very much in youth, and drinking deliciously, but will certainly age smartly over the next couple of years.Tasted: 26 February 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $75.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
