Vibrant Roc de l'Abbaye Sauvignon Blanc from Oisly vineyards near the Cher: fresh white fruit, pear and apricot with lemony florals, a smooth palate from lees ageing, balanced acidity and a trademark mineral finish.
Available in store
Close100% Sauvignon Blanc
Food pairings: Gazpacho, grilled vegetables, sushi, quiche, light pasta dishes, white meats and fish.
Winemaking: The wine is matured for six months on its lees with frequent stirring to keep aromatic freshness and give a smooth structure. There is no malolactic conversion and no oak.
Vineyards and terroir: Florian Mollet selected vineyards at Oisly, in the heart of Touraine close to the Cher River, on clay, limestone and flint (silex) soils, for freshness and intense aromatics. The fruit receives the same rigorous selection, vinification and maturation as the family's Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé.
Family and history: Domaine Roc de l'Abbaye is owned and operated by the Mollet family in Saint-Satur, a village in the heart of Sancerre with winegrowing origins dating back to the 11th century, famous for its ancient abbey and the flint hillsides bordering the Loire.
