The old vineyard of Roblin Sancerre Origine Blanc

The vineyards for the white Sancerre Origine Blanc are located around the villages of Maimbray and Sury-en-Vaux, 6 km northwest of the city of Sancerre. Here, the brothers cultivate very steep slopes, resulting in fantastic harvests. The soils are rich in limestone and clay, allowing the vines to absorb a wealth of nutrients. Grassed areas between most plots prevent soil erosion and promote better grape ripeness.
