About Jean-Max Roger

Based in the Sancerre appellation, Jean-Max Roger inherited what is now 26 hectares of vines. The domain’s vines sit among the communes of Bué and Sancerre, and the hamlets of Amigny, Crézancy, and Vinon. Jean-Max comes from a long lineage of winegrowers based in Bué, and in 2004, two of Jean-Max’s sons, Etienne and Thibault, returned to the estate after professional careers in France and abroad.
