In 1584, an earthquake caused the mountain to collapse, and it tumbled down to Yvorne. At the foot of the immense amphitheater created by the landslide, the terroir would prove ideal for creating great wines. Clos du Rocher was born in the 19th century, when vines and well-ordered walls replaced the scrub and rocks.
