Roc des Boutires

Roc des Boutires

In the village of Pouilly, in the middle of the Pouilly-Fuissé AOC lies Domaine du Roc des Boutires. The winery’s name draws on both terroir and tradition: its proximity with the Roche de Solutré, an emblem of the appellation and a testament to the extraordinary geologic richness of this vineyard; as well as the domaine’s settlement in the very heart of one of the best terroirs of the appellation – “Aux Bouthières.”

The Domaine Roc des Boutires was purchased in 2017 by the Parinet family owners of the ChÃteau du Moulin-à-Vent estate in Romanèche-Thorins. The 4.2 ha estate, all planted in chardonnay,is spread over 14 different parcels, rooted in the rocky limestone terroir of the Roche de Solutré.

Viticulture is fully organic (no certification) and all the work is done by hand.The use of sulphites is judicious and no other inputs, or interventionist techniques are used. Annual production is approx 20000 allocated bottles. But they are very fine expressions of white Burgundy, with lovely texture and mouthfeel.
