The 2024 Clos des Rocs Pouilly-Loché Quatre Saisons is a refined Burgundy Chardonnay showing lemon, white peach and ripe pear alongside green apple, white flowers, citrus zest and subtle hazelnut. The 2024 vintage gives the wine a bright, energetic profile, combining generous orchard fruit with lively acidity and a delicate mineral character. Fine saline and savoury nuances add depth without overshadowing the freshness of the fruit.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully textured, with vibrant acidity supporting layers of citrus, orchard fruit and delicate stone fruit. Lemon, pear and white peach are complemented by subtle floral, nutty and savoury notes, while a fine stony mineral streak provides tension, definition and length. The texture is rounded yet focused, with a refreshing saline lift carrying through the mid-palate. The finish is dry, clean and persistent, leaving lingering citrus, orchard fruit and gentle mineral notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chardonnay drinkers seeking an elegant southern Burgundy with freshness, texture and mineral detail. It is approachable in its youth but has enough acidity and structure to develop additional savoury and nutty complexity with bottle age. Best enjoyed over the next 5–8 years. Serve lightly chilled with butter-poached marron, seared scallops with brown butter, grilled turbot with lemon butter, roast chicken with tarragon and morels, or mushroom and leek risotto.
