The Roger family’s Pinot Noir vines are planted on the Sancerrois regions three main soil types flint, terres blanches and caillottes. Although most of their Pinot Noir grapes go into the production of their red wine around one-fifth of the harvest is used for the production of rosé wines, most of which come from flint-based terroirs as they are looking for elegance and lightness of touch.
 

Essentially their Sancerre Rosé is vinified as for white wine with the grapes being pressed immediately after being harvested. The gentle pressing of the Pinot Noir grapes gives a unique salmon pink colour to this Sancerre Rosé along with lightness, elegance and finesse in flavour. It is the perfect match for Asian and Indian cuisine, and is ideal with cold meat dishes, deli meats and smoked salmon. It may of course be served as an exceptional aperitif.
 

The rosé is sub-titled La Grange Dîmière in reference to one of Bué’s ancient tithe barns which constitutes the oldest part of the family winery.

 This well established domaine is much loved by some of the most influential critics.  American critic-supreme Robert Parker cited it as a source of some of the best Sancerre available.  British Loire specialist Jim Budd is equally enthusiastic.

Domaine Jean-Max Roger

The wines of Jean-Max Roger, his Sancerre, Pouilly-Fume, Menetou-Salon and Rose offer absolutely everything that you would expect from a first class Loire wine producer – freshness, character, lots of herb and fruit characters plus that quintessential Loire style.

HarperWells have been working with this Domaine since 2006 and describe them as the producer of our most classic whites and the Domaine with the most fiercely loyal following. US critic Robert Parker rates Jean-Max Roger as an "Excellent" producer.... and described the Cuvée GC as "One of the greatest Sancerres I have ever tasted."
