Just like a fine Burgundy, the south-facing Roc de l’Abbaye parcel lies in the middle of the hillside and overlooks the Domaine’s vinification. This parcel selection wine offers a graceful reflection of the balance and tension of wines grown in flint soils.
Age of the vines: ~ 45 years old
Soil: Pink, black and grey flint
Vinification: This wine is made from hand harvested grapes grown in the iconic Clos du Roc parcel in the heart of the village of Saint-Satur. Its 100% flint terroir imparts complexity and minerality to the fruit and enables it to ripen gradually. I perfect this already mythical wine with cold stabulation for 8 days prior to fermentation at 18°C.
