Stemming from blushing soils on a sunny hillside, Les Mûres offers a precise, delicate white in this 2020 vintage. The subtle nose opens up gradually, offering nuances of aromatic herbs and white fruit. In this vintage, the palate is dynamic, with a hint of chalkiness. A magnificent expression of terroir. Real elegance. A great white is born...

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 92/100 (Vintage 2019)
3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
In 2002, Olivier Giroux bought Domaine Saint-Philibert in Loché, renaming it Clos des Rocs after his largest parcel. He now farms 9 hectares of vines around 60 years old, 6 of which are Pouilly-Loché. In 2006, he began converting the estate to organic farming, obtaining certification in 2014. This young man in his forties is helping to raise the profile of Pouilly-Loché wines, for which he is the best ambassador. With little intervention in the cellar, he relies on moderate wood ageing and unhurried bottling. His cuvées of great purity seduce with their crystalline, fresh, finely-wooded juices.
