List of products by brand JEAN MAX ROGER
The Roger family descends from a long line of winegrowers from the village of Bué. The first written mention of the name dates back to the 17th century.
Up until the 1960s, generation after generation practised mixed farming and animal rearing - the husband would look after the vines while the wife would care for the goats. Jean-Max Roger took over the 4 hectares of vines that his parents had left to him in the early 1970s. With his wife Nicole, they focused on the vineyards and developed the estate to make it what it is today.
It was only natural that they pass on their love for wine and for the terroir to their sons. In 2004, after various experiences in France and abroad, Thibault and Etienne joined their father at the family estate. Today, Thibault and Etienne continue to define the estate’s identity. A complementary team, they perpetuate the family know-how and techniques that they are perfecting vintage after vintage.
The estate covers a surface area of 34 ha, 28 ha of which bear the Sancerre appellation and 6 ha of Menetou-Salon. More than forty plots offer exceptional diversity of exposure, slope and soil profiles, dispersed among the region’s three most renowned terroirs.
This diversity, combined with our winemaking expertise, allows each of our wines to express all of the uniqueness of their terroirs through their structure, elegance and finesse.
We apply the same exacting criteria in selecting the wines that make up our Pouilly-Fumé cuvée.
Three major types of terroirs make up the Sancerre, Menetou-Salon and Pouilly-Fumé appellations.
