Domaine Roc D'Abbaye 2022 Sancerre Rouge

This wine opens with a delicate bouquet of small red berries—think wild strawberry and red currant—layered with subtle smoky and flinty notes that speak to its unique terroir. On the palate, it is expressive yet restrained, with fine tannins and a silky texture that glide effortlessly. The fruit remains vibrant and fresh, complemented by hints of pepper and earth that add complexity without overpowering. Florian Mollet’s meticulous approach—green harvesting to concentrate aromas, full destemming, and gentle extraction through cap punching and pump-overs—results in a wine that balances structure and finesse. The finish is clean and persistent, echoing the wine’s mineral backbone and subtle spice.
