Jean-Max Roger Sancerre 2024

Colour : Pale yellow with golden highlights. Nose : The first smell is charming with notes of fresh fig and nougat on a backbone of dried flowers. With aeration, more varietal flavours emerge: very ripe peach, mango, and rhubarb. Thiol flavours are growingly intense, whereas the lemony and iodized finish brings freshness. Palate : Full in attack, the palate is silky and generous. The growing acidity is nicely linked with the freshness of aromas: firstly, the sweetness of nougat and very ripe fruits, and finally more varietal and aniseed notes. Good length on the palate, supported by fresher aromas.

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. Beginning in 2004, two of his three sons, Etienne and Thibault, came back to work at the estate after various professional experiences in France and abroad. His third son, Xavier, lives his passion for wine in the Languedoc-Roussillon region.
