Domaine Roc de l’Abbaye Sancerre 2022
Terrior: Pink, black & grey flint
Varietal: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Colour: Pale golden hue
Nose: The discreet nose is dominated by notes of smoke and Earl Grey tea combined with swathes of clementine, yellow peach and mango.
Palate: Intensely fruity, reveals yellow peach, ripe nectarine, quince, as well as subtle notes of stewed fruits. The finish is long and saline.
Pairs well with Seafood platter or a fillet of red mullet in a white butter sauce with citrus and carrot flower honey.
Domaine Roc de l’Abbaye Florian Mollet L’Antique Sancerre Blanc 2022
Terrior: 90% Flint of St-Satur, 10% Terres, Blanches of Thauvenay
Varietal: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Colour: Yellow with silver tinges.
Nose: The already expressive nose offers Sansho pepper, blackberry bud, white peach, exotic fruits and citrus fruits such as pomelos.
Palate: A rich and powerful wine with an elegant freshness. A delicate touch of bitterness lingers on the long and incredibly well balanced finish.
Pairs well with Goats cheeses, a white bean bruschetta, mushrooms and grilled white fish.
"A well-rounded white with aromas of lemon zest, apples, flint and a touch of mustard seeds. Medium body with bright acidity. Precise and well-crafted with volume on the mid-palate. Succulent finish with a mineral edge to it. Drink or hold." - 91 points, James Suckling
