Description

Clos des Rocs Macon-Fuisse 'En Vers Chanes' 2024Hailing from the nearby commune of Fuiss, this bottling comes from the En Vers Chnes vineyard in which Olivier owns a mere quarter of a hectare of 45 year old vines. The high altitude (400 meters) and sandy limestone of this site produce a wine of striking poise and penetrating minerality, and Oliviers measured aging regimen of 50% steel and 50% used barrels contributes a richness of texture without sacrificing zip.
