White wine | Yvorne Grand Cru, Chablais AOC

Resilience and excellence
A vintage that will go down as the frost vintage in Europe and Switzerland, but not really in the Canton of Vaud except a little in… the Chablais. If the harvest is low, the quality is beautiful. Nearly a decade later, the Clos du Rocher reveals a refined evolution, revealing notes of honey and beeswax, orange peel and ripe apple, curry and saffron. The palate seduces with its freshness, precision and character. Although it is still young, this great white wine already has a lot to offer!

Wine-growing terroir

Located in Yvorne, one of the largest wine-growing municipalities in the Canton of Vaud, Clos du Rocher benefits from an exceptional terroir. Nestled against the rock face, the vines face due south on one of the steepest slopes in the region, in stony, well-drained soil. The warm Föhn winds help prevent disease, while in the evening and at night, temperatures drop, maintaining balance in the grapes.

Winemaking

Harvests at perfect maturity, traditional vinification, aging in wooden vases.

Screw cap

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!
