Description
The Roger family descends from a long line of winegrowers from the village of Bué. The first texts that mention the name date back to the early 17th century. Jean-Max Roger took over the four hectares of vines left to him by his parents in the early 1970s and expanded the estate to its current size. Today, the estate covers a surface area of 26 ha in the Sancerre AOC area of production which is located along the Loire River. It also includes 5 ha of vines located in the Menetou-Salon AOC area of production where the first plantations date back to 1981. White wines are made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes whereas reds and rosés are made from Pinot Noir grapes.
Tasting Notes
Grape Variety: Pinot Noir (25-40 years vines)
This red Sancerre’s colour is lively and limpid. Its intense nose is reminiscent of red fruit such as sour cherry, red plum and blackcurrant. It also features floral notes. Starts off soft and round on the palate. The texture of the tannins develops progressively – they are round and give good length to the tasting experience.
Serving temperature: 14 to 17°C
