Domaine Roc de l'Abbaye 
Sancerre – Roc de l’Abbaye
Our Single-Vineyard cuvéeLocated in the middle of a south facing hill slope, just like a Grand Cru in Burgundy, this unique parcel overlooks the winery and the tasting room. Florian’s monopole wine ‘Roc de l’Abbaye’ shows layered flavours with a perfect balance and it offers this unique tension defining the great Silex (flint) terroir. The palate is profound and fresh, supported by a long lasting minerality.
This wine is available in France from 39,90 € at your preferred wine shop, or at our online shop Aux Trésors de Bacchus

Grapefruit zest, lime, nettles and fresh herbs on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with tangy acidity and fresh, bright character. Hints of white pepper marry the green-citrus notes. Drink now. |

Some green mango, sliced apple, guava and green berries on the nose. Quite austere and dry with razor-sharp acidity. Pure and tangy, though a little demanding. Drink now. |

2021 is a cooler vintage than 2020 which required more regular stirring of the fine lees. The wine develops more varietal aromas and freshness. The golden yellow colour is intensely brilliant. The nose develops a perfume of white flowers mixed with citrus notes. The mouth is tasty, fresh and supported by a persistent minerality. |
