The Domaine Roc de l’Abbaye is located in the heart of Saint-Satur, a historical winemakers village within the Sancerre appellation. 

Until today, Saint-Satur is famous for its ancient Abbey and its Silex (flint) terroir on the hillsides bordering the Loire river. Domaine Roc de l’Abbaye, managed by the Mollet family, owns the iconic ‘Clos du Roc’ parcel at the foothill of the Sancerre village. Jean-Paul Mollet, an engineer by trade who graduated from the highly regarded Centrale Paris school of engineering, is a son of a winemaker from Boisgibault (a hamlet of Pouilly-Fumé). He took over his family estate and managed it with passion and affection even though he was travelling around the world for his executive job at Schlumberger. 

Since 2000, Florian, Jean-Paul’s son, is managing the Domaine and continuing his father’s hard work. Credited for his talent in winemaking, Florian built a modern cellar next to the Clos du Roc parcel and successfully enlarged the family estate up to 17ha. Thanks to his expertise in France and abroad (Australia, South Africa…) combined with his intimate knowledge of the Silex (flint) terroir, his wines have become the reference for epicureans in searching of freshness, chiseled minerality and refined aromas.
