Presentation
Anchored in the Mâconnais, Domaine Du Clos Des Rocs is managed by Olivier Giroux, a passionate winemaker who highlights the pure expression of Chardonnay through precise and elegant wines. Located on limestone terroirs at altitude, the estate benefits from an ideal exposure that favors perfect grape maturity. The vines, some of which are over 50 years old, are cultivated organically, with meticulous soil work and limited interventions. Vinifications are precise, with natural fermentations and long aging on lees in oak barrels, giving the wines richness and balance. The whites from the estate charm with their mineral tension, complex aromas of white fruits, flowers, and hazelnut, and great aging potential. A reference estate for lovers of great whites from the Mâconnais.
