Tasting Notes

The estate's sole parcel beyond the boundaries of Loché is home to old vines basking in the full southern exposure of the lieu-dit 'Vers Chanes.' Here, a classic Pouilly-Fuissé is crafted, showcasing richness and density. Maturing in neutral demi-muids (500L barrels), this wine, typically abundant in ripeness, strikes a harmonious balance, infusing it with an elegance befitting this esteemed appellation.

Robert Parker

Pouilly-Fuissé Les Pierrotes delivers aromas of yellow orchard fruit, clear honey and buttery pastry, followed by a medium to full-bodied, round and fleshy palate underpinned by chalky structuring extract and ripe acids.

Clos des Rocs

In 2002, Olivier Giroux acquired the Saint-Philibert estate, nestled near Fuissé in the Mâconnais region, and christened it 'CLOS des ROCS.' With unwavering dedication, he transitioned the entire estate to organic farming to ensure that his wines faithfully reflect the exceptional terroir they originate from. The estate, nearly entirely encompassing a single east-facing slope, boasts 10 hectares of vines from the Pouilly-Loché and Pouilly-Fuissé appellations, with an average vine age of over 60 years. Olivier Giroux, a passionate and dynamic winemaker, imbues his wines with his own personality: enjoyable, wholesome, and featuring a remarkably expressive and round palate.
