Enough to prove that the Yvorne terroir, with its gently sloping vines, caressed by the foehn, makes it possible to create great red wines!

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!
