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.
The grapes are grown with the utmost respect for nature, and you can taste the difference. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are rigorously selected again on the tables, removing all the bad bunches. This Roblin Sancerre then matures for a full six months on the lees, giving it its full and characteristic flavor. The aroma reveals a lovely freshness of green apple, minerals, lime zest, and a touch of grapefruit. The palate is soft and very clean, with plenty of white fruit such as apple, pear, and melon. On the back of the palate, the wine reveals a beautiful, clean style of minerals, green pepper, and grapefruit.
