Winemaker's Notes:

Minerality harmonizes with freshness of varietals character in the aroma. With good weight and structure, the sense of lushness in the mid-palate leads to melon and pear flavors. Lengthy overtones of gun flint minerality resurface in the opulent finish.

The Clos du Roc vineyard has been in the Maudry family for ten generations. Upon the death of Pierre Maudry, the vineyard was leased out to other Sancerre producers until his grandson Florian rekindled the family business. Florian has been transforming the ancient Abbey of Saint-Satur into a state of the art winemaking facility. He studied oenology in Dijon and strives to allow the uniqueness of the terroir to express its flintiness.
