Unctuous fruit pierced by a shining ray of zippy citrus. Luscious notes of melon, peaches and gooseberry. Light, fruity and very refreshing.

After studying winemaking in Dijon and working abroad in South Africa and Australia, young vigneron Florian Mollet took over his family Domaine in 2000 with the idea of making it one of the great estates in Sancerre. He had a bit of head start when you consider that Mollet controls the Clos du Roc de l’Abbaye’ vineyard, one of the great terroirs of Sancerre, which has been in the family’s holdings since 1850.

Located on the eastern side of Sancerre, Domaine Roc de l’Abbaye by Florian Mollet is one of few estates in the appellation to be planted entirely on flint soils. This soil, known as ‘silex’, represents just 15% of the Sancerre appellation and is coveted for its geological make-up, which produces wines with expressive gunflint aromas and a taut character. The history of the estate began in 15th century when the nearby Abbey identified four hectares of silex soil and named it Domaine du Clos du Roc.
