Domaine Faiveley Clos Rochette Monopole is a distinguished white Burgundy from the Côte Chalonnaise, crafted exclusively from Chardonnay grapes. This five-hectare monopole vineyard, owned solely by Faiveley since 1933, is situated near La Framboisière and is characterized by its hard, rocky soils with abundant clay and limestone. The south-east facing parcel benefits from excellent drainage and a unique microclimate, which contribute to the wine’s freshness and complexity.

This exceptional Grand Cru wine comes off a 1.287 ha parcel of the famous 50.12 ha walled Clos de Vougeot vineyard in the commune of Vougeot. This vineyard dates back to 1336 when the Monks of Cîteaux created the Clos. The vineyard has an east to south-easterly aspect with shallow soils. Grapes are hand harvested and undergo a short pre-fermentation maceration before being fermented in large wooden vats. After three week fermentation, the wine is gently pressed using a vertical press before being matured in up to 70% fine-grained new French oak barrels for 16-18 months.
