Tasting Note:
Les 4 Saisons is Mâconnais Chardonnay with real Burgundy detail: generous enough to feel comforting, but still driven by a mineral line that keeps it lifted. Expect lemon oil, ripe pear, and yellow apple, plus white flowers and a subtle almond and hazelnut note as it opens. The texture is quietly creamy without turning buttery, and the finish lands dry with a chalky, stony snap that makes you want food. This is a perfect table white: roast chicken, scallops, buttery fish, creamy leeks, or a wedge of Comté all feel like the right move.

About the Producer:
Clos des Rocs is one of the reference domaines in Pouilly-Loché, led by Olivier Giroux, with a reputation for site-driven Chardonnay that punches well above the appellation. The style leans traditional and restrained: thoughtful farming, native ferments, and élevage choices that build texture while keeping the wines bright, mineral, and food-first.
