Domaine du Clos des Rocs Macon-Loche En Pres Foret 2024

$2499

Single-vineyard white Burgundy that drinks like a blend of Chablis and Meursault, for a fraction of either. Domaine du Clos des Rocs, a Rosenthal find in the village of Loche, owns a chunk of this underrated corner of the Maconnais. En Pres Foret is 1.6 hectares of 40-year-old Chardonnay at 240 meters on sandy, stony soil over schist bedrock, aged mostly in stainless steel with a touch of older large oak. The result is generous yet elegant, with a pronounced saline streak and the structure to age a decade or more. Intensely mineral Macon at a steal.

More about Domaine du Clos des Rocs

Domaine du Clos des Rocs own 30% of the AOC, including the monopole Clos that gives the producer its name—the top site in the village. They produce in a classical style, using all organic methods, non-manipulative wine-making and minimal use of new oak (including some extra-large 500 hl barrels to ensure no woody flavors). We have tasted the wines for several vintages now and have been impressed with everything.

The Mâcon's best wines are intensely minerally, but also full of concentrated fruit. Like a blend of Chablis and Meursault. These wines do exactly that, but with a finesse and elegance that we're not so used to from the Macon. The pricing is incredible. We've been frustrated by rising prices in next door Pouilly-Fuissé—a trend that will only accelerate with the pending introduction of premier crus — and are happy to see that Pouilly-Loché has remained so affordable, despite having wines that are easily as good as the best that Fuissé can offer.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Rosenthal Wine Merchant

<p>Olivier owns 1.6 hectares of 40-year-old Chardonnay in En Pres Forêt, situated at 240 meters altitude with sandy, stony soil atop schist mother-rock. Aged 90% in stainless steel and 10% in used 500-liter oak barrels, this cuvée is both generous and elegant, with a pronounced saline streak and the ability to evolve well for a decade or more in bottle.</p>
