Max Roger Sancerre Rouge Vieilles Vignes 2017

Description

Winemaking has been in the Roger family for generations – as far back as the 17th century. Based in Bué, one of Sancerre’s most renowned villages, they’re dedicated to crafting wines that fully express the unique terroir of the region. This is made with Pinot Noir grapes from the estate’s sustainably managed vineyards. The vines are especially old, producing smaller yields of grapes, but with superbly concentrated flavours. And this translates to an incredibly complex, vibrant wine. Expect notes of sour cherry, blackcurrant and blackberry with hints of spice. Pair its pronounced flavours and smooth tannins with game meats like rabbit, or with full-flavoured cheeses.
