Domaine Roc de l’Abbaye, owned and operated by the Mollet family, is in Saint-Satur, a village in the heart of Sancerre with winegrowing origins dating back to the 11th century. Saint-Satur is famous for its ancient Abbey and its Silex (flint) terroir on the hillsides bordering the Loire river. Silex is a coveted soil type, found in only 15% of the vineyards in Sancerre, that produces wines with amazing minerality, acidity and precision with trademark smoky notes.
Florian selected the Oisly vineyards close to the Cher River to ensure freshness and intense aromatics in this Loire Sauvignon Blanc. This grapes receive the same rigorous selection, vinification and maturation as the ones from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé.
This vibrant wine is fresh with white fruits, pear and apricot and finishes with trademark minerality and balanced acidity. Pairs well with many foods including gazpacho, grilled vegetables, sushi, quiche and light pasta dishes.
