WINE DESCRIPTION

Clos des Rocs Monopole Pouilly-Loché is a distinguished white wine from the esteemed Pouilly-Loché appellation in Burgundy. Crafted by Clos des Rocs, this wine originates from a meticulously managed 3-hectare vineyard featuring over 70-year-old vines planted at an altitude of 250 meters. The terroir consists of shallow, reddish soil mixed with limestone stones, providing a unique mineral character. The winemaking process begins with hand-harvested grapes that undergo a slow pressing. The wine is then fermented with indigenous yeasts, enhancing its purity and complexity, and aged with minimal intervention to preserve its inherent qualities. The result is a refined and elegant Pouilly-Loché with a rich, nuanced profile, reflecting both the age of the vines and the meticulous care taken in its production.
