Domaine Roc de l'Abbaye - Pouilly Fume

2022

Sauvignon Blanc

Pouilly Fume, France

This Domaine dates back to 1450 when the Abbey of Saint-Satur founded Domaine du Clos du Roc with just 4 hectares of vines. After Phylloxera destoryed most of the area at the end of the 19th century, it took until the mid 1950s to bring the land back to its former glory. Today, the estate is made up of 17 hectares and managed by the Mollet family who has been sure to never forget the Domaine's Abbey roots. This region is best known for its silex (flint) soils and the amazing wine that can be produced from them and Domaine Roc's wines are no exception. Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grown on 45 year-old vines, this wine

 is a true example of what the region is capable of. Notes of peach, ripe nectarine and quince complemented by a long salinity finish. Pair with a seafood platter or red mullet in a white butter sauce.
