Domaine du Clos des Rocs

The winery, owned by the Bérard family for over five centuries under the name Domaine Saint-Philibert, has now become Domaine du Clos des Rocs, a reference to its “Monopole” vineyard.

This magnificent family property, nestled in the heart of the village of Loché, was enriched in 1999 thanks to the ingenuity and perseverance of Philippe Bérard.

Olivier Giroux Purchases Domaine du Clos des Rocs

Olivier Giroux cultivates 8.8 hectares of vines, including 6 hectares in Pouilly-Loché. The name of the estate comes from a 3.5-hectare parcel operated as a monopole in the lieu-dit "Les Mûres."

In 2002, Olivier Giroux purchased the Domaine Saint-Philibert in Loché, covering an area of 7.5 hectares of vines, including 6 hectares in Pouilly-Loché and renamed the property after his largest parcel, a monopole clos of 3 hectares, so the estate will now be called Domaine du Clos des Rocs.

AGE OF THE VINES: 70 years

PRODUCTION: 500 cs 

TERROIR AND EXPOSURE :East-facing slopes, with shallow reddish soil mixed with limestone pebbles, often with bedrock just 20 cm below.

VINIFICATION : Manual harvesting, very slow pressing after crushing. 100% vinified and aged in 500-liter barrels aged 2 to 8 years for 12 months, aiming to highlight the wine's salinity, a reflection of the terroir. Minimal use of sulfites.

TASTING : Chardonnay with beautiful freshness, featuring notes of ripe lemon and sweet almond. The aging in 500-liter barrels adds a lovely toasty note. The overall profile is balanced, fresh, with a delicate final salinity that enhances the minerality. True elegance. Les Mûres, future 1er Cru: to be continued
