DOMAINE JEAN MAX ROGER - AOC SANCERRE BLANC 'CUVÉE MARNES ET CAILLOTTES 2020
TASTING NOTES
This blend of grapes from plots in the villages of AmIgny, Sancerre and Vinon fully expresses the stony calcareous “caillottes” terroir it hails from. Fruity freshness, finesse, vivacity and minerality characterize this wine. It is expressive, combining notes typical of the varietal (rhubarb, broom),floral (hawthorn) and fruit (grapefruit, lemon). Starts off bold on the palate offering dense structure and well-balanced acidity with lemony accents. Lasting finish evocative of fresh fruit.

ABOUT
Jean-Max Roger is a family estate located in the winegrowing village of Bué at the heart of the Sancerre region.
We nurture and hone several generations of expertise to produce wines that combine structure and elegance.
We have always been spurred on by our passion for making wines that express both their terroir and the work that we perform in the vineyards and at the winery.
To do so, we are continually questioning our viticultural and winemaking practises. The sustainability of the soil, the health of the vines, the purity of our musts and the meticulousness of our vinification and ageing processes are what constitute our daily preoccupations.
