The Roger family comes from a long line of winegrowers from the village of Bué. The first texts that mention the family 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, 26 hectares. 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. The wine shows exotic notes of citrus and passion fruit on the nose, when allowed to breathe, aromas of ginger and lime are revealed. The complexity increases further showcasing mineral and smoky gunflint. The fresh attack is vivacious, evolving with tension. The persistent finish is long, well-rounded and balanced.
