Clos du Rocher 2015
White wine | Yvorne Grand Cru, Chablais AOC
Remarkable in every way!
This Chasselas is a model of harmonious aging! It is first floral, then mineral, fresh, and finally fruity. Full and enveloping in the mouth, it is enhanced by a salty touch in the finish. A fine example of an exceptional vintage, for a round, smooth, delicious white wine. A Rocher rounded by age, which will caress the noblest palates.

Full and enveloping, with mineral notes and a hint of salt on the finish.

Yvorne, the largest wine-growing commune in Vaud, is distinguished by its terroir with gravelly and clay-limestone soil. In 1584 the landslide of a rock mass almost completely destroyed the village. This scree therefore constitutes its terroir, which gives Chasselas unique character traits. Le Clos du Rocher, an exceptional vineyard, is backed by rock and sheltered from cold winds. It benefits from a south-facing exposure.
Harvests at perfect maturity, traditional vinification, aging in wooden vases.

Clos du Rocher
Clos du Rocher was born in the 19th century, when vines and well-ordered walls replaced scrub and rock. The estate was acquired in 1918 by Emile Obrist, who immediately recognised the qualities of this terroir. He has proved it ever since, as this vineyard with its special aura has received praise from the profession, as much for its wines as for its winemakers!
