Sancerre

Tradition Sancerre comes from a selection of vines aged between 15 and 25 years from 4 hectares of selece vineyards of the domaine, which represent the benchmark of the estate. The unique flint soils give the wine its unique, flint-like mineral character. The vineyards achieved sustainable certification in April 2022.

Located on the eastern slope of Sancerre, Florian Mollet’s Domaine Roc de l’Abbaye is one of the few estates in the appellation to be planted entirely on flint soils. This land, called “silex”, represents only 15% of the Sancerre appellation and is coveted for its geological conformation, which produces wines with expressive flint aromas and a taut character. The history of the estate begins in the 15th century when the nearby Abbey identified four hectares of flint land and named it Domaine du Clos du Roc. These four hectares became part of the domaine in 1973 through the marriage of Jean-Paul Mollet and Rosie-Marie Maudry, who combined their family holdings to create Domaine Roc de L’Abbaye.

The Sancerre from the Florian Mollet winery has a pale straw yellow color with greenish nuances, on the nose the scents are fruity aromas, orange and citrus fruits with some floral notes, white flowers. The taste is fresh, with mineral notes.
