Quincy, located in the west of the Centre-Loire, has its vines planted on terraces mainly composed of sand and gravel. The summer of 2022, hot and above all dry, brought a very beautiful maturity of the grapes, maturity which is expressed in this wine by a beautiful and elegant richness. Rigorous selection of the grapes by tasting the berries before harvesting. Fermentation at a controlled temperature of 16-18°C. Ageing on lees for 6 months with regular stirring to preserve all the aromatic freshness and bring roundness to the wine.

About this wine
Domaine Roc de l'Abbaye produces elegant Sauvignon Blanc from France's Loire Valley, specifically from the prestigious Quincy appellation. This white wine showcases the distinctive character of the region's terroir, delivering a dry, medium-bodied expression with refined acidity and subtle leesy complexity. The producer's commitment to quality winemaking results in a sophisticated wine that expresses both the purity of Sauvignon Blanc and the unique mineral qualities of Quincy's limestone-rich soils.
At 13% alcohol, this is a perfectly balanced white wine suited to refined entertaining and fine dining occasions. The medium acidity and elegant profile make it exceptionally versatile at the table. Pair with shellfish, lobster, crab, and fresh fish preparations; it also complements chicken dishes, citrus-based sauces, green vegetables, and salads. The wine's structure makes it an excellent choice with hard cheeses such as Comté and Parmesan, and it pairs beautifully with pasta dishes featuring light, seafood-based or vegetable-forward preparations.
