Clos des Rocs Monopole 2003 WHITE France

Top-notch white Burgundy is "the classic dry white for entertaining" (Jancis Robinson MW) and Clos des Rocs comes with our highest recommendation from a unique plot of family-owned vines - a mature Gold-medal treat for special occasions. Pouilly Loche is a tiny 28 hectares on some of the best terroir of the Maconnais. Within that the Clos des Rocs is a walled vineyard close to the landmark Roche du Solutre and wholly-owned by the Bricage family. The 65 year-old Chardonnay vines produce top quality grapes deftly crafted into this excellent wine by the multi medal-winning 28 year-old young gun guru winemaker Olivier Giroux. Having spent 12 months in oak barrels this dense fruit-rich wine has taken on a vanilla oak-infused complexity that makes it such a mouth-filling delight. Serve with poussin blanquette de veau grilled swordfish or creamy pasta dishes.
