Domaine Roc de l’Abbaye, managed by the Mollet family, is nestled in Saint-Satur, a historic village in Sancerre with winemaking traditions dating back to the 11th century. Renowned for its ancient Abbey and rare Silex terroir, found in only 15% of Sancerre vineyards, the region produces wines celebrated for their minerality, precision, and smoky notes. To enhance freshness and aromatic intensity, grapes from Oisly vineyards near the Cher River undergo meticulous vinification similar to Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. The result is a Loire Sauvignon Blanc that is vibrant, featuring white fruits like pear and apricot, with balanced acidity and signature minerality.
91 Wine Enthusiast This wine begins with reserved aromas of golden apple, pear, orange blossom, dried lemon zest and hay. The palate is more vibrant than the nose with chalk-dusted, fulsome fruit complemented by firm acidity. A vein of richness elevates the wine and imparts structure.
