Jean-Max Roger Sancerre Cuvée Marnes Et Caillottes

Jean-Max Roger is a respected family estate in Sancerre, known for crafting wines that clearly express the region’s diverse terroirs. The cuvée “Marnes et Caillottes” refers directly to the soils—marl (marnes) and limestone pebbles (caillottes)—which play a crucial role in shaping the wine’s character.

These soils are prized in Sancerre for producing wines that combine freshness, structure, and mineral tension. Marl contributes depth and body, while limestone enhances precision and bright acidity. This balance results in a Sauvignon Blanc that is both lively and textured—more complex than a simple, fruit-forward style.

The wine reflects a classic Loire philosophy: purity, terroir expression, and drinkability, with a subtle sophistication that appeals to both enthusiasts and collectors.
