Matthias & Emile Roblin Sancerre Origine Blanc (375ml)

While young, this wine has all the makings for an attractive, mature future. Crisp, mineral and intensely citrusy, the wine is both fruity and textured. It will be ready from 2023. — Roger Voss

A typical Sancerre – a fruity, floral, straightforward, lively, mineral wine. ​ Perfect as an aperitif or as the ideal match for seafood, fish, white meats and goat’s cheeses, especially the renowned local Crottin de Chavignol.

About the producer
Matthias Roblin’s first commercial vintage was 2000 and of that debut the English magazine Decanter wrote: “Searing concentration of lime and elderflower fruit with refreshing acids. Long and even with a steely mineral character. Fine.” The magazine went on to select Matthias’ 2003 Sancerre as the best white table wine to come out of the Loire in 2005 (World Wine Awards, October, 2005). Given the torrid heat of that endless summer, one in which making a fresh wine was all but impossible, this was quite the honor. Decanter then profiled Matthias in its September 2006 issue, naming him among five new faces to watch in the Sancerre appellation.In 2006 his younger brother Emile joined him (that’s Emile leading the way in the photo above), and now these two manage the affairs at Domaine Matthias & Emile Roblin with the aid of their father. Dad is officially retired, having made wine under the name of Château de Maimbray with his own brother most of his professional life until 2010, but he still lends a hand.
