This tiny appelation (32hectares) is a soil rich in limestone and clay which is the ideal soil for producing Chardonnay with great cut and finesse.  The wines are leaner than their counterparts in neighboring Pouilly Fuisse and carry a hint of earth, yet they are quite rich in mineral, with enough fruit density to properly support the robust structural elements. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv _mce_style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;\" style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan _mce_style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\" style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan _mce_style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv _mce_style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;\" style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan _mce_style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\" style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan _mce_style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eTo say I was impressed was an understatement!  The wine is so clean and easy to drink I nearly finished the entire bottle.  Two customers that stopped in to pick up their wines guessed the price to be in the $60 range - it is really that good!  I drink a lot of white wine and this is easily one of the most impressive new discoveries I have come across in quite some time.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv _mce_style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;\" style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan _mce_style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\" style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan _mce_style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv _mce_style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #ff0000;\" style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cspan _mce_style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\" style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan _mce_style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is one I'm willing to offer my \u003cspan _mce_style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003emoney back guarantee\u003c\/span\u003e - if you don't love it I'll pay to send it back and credit you for the bottle you drank - no questions asked.  Discover something new - you will be glad you did!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037447835887,"sku":"5296","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/Clos-des-Rocs-Pouilly-Loche-Monopole-1.jpg?v=1731312779","url":"https:\/\/vinsrare.com\/products\/2015-domaine-du-clos-des-rocs-pouilly-loche-clos-des-rocs-monopole","provider":"Vins Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
