Jean-Max Roger

Jean-Max Roger and his sons Thibaut and Etienne have emerged over the past decade as one of the serious producers in BuÃ©. Thibaut, who is the shorter of the two, sports a beard and looks like he might play prop for the local rugby side. He is responsible for the cellar and has become the commercial face of the estate. His brother Etienne looks after the administrative side of the business. Of their 26 hectares of vineyards, most are nearby, but they also have considerable holdings in Menetou-Salon and smaller parcels in Pouilly-FumÃ©. Very commercial in style, even the simple sauvignon blancs are appealing, but they seldom touch the heights reached by some of their neighbors. As they make 240,000 bottles a year, though, these are wines that you are quite likely to find in the marketplace. Also recommended: 2013 Sancerre La Grange DimiÃ¨re (86), 2012 Pouilly-FumÃ© (86).
