Saumur Champigny Clos Rougeard Magnum 2014
150 cl
£622.00
Clos Rougeard is one of the most legendary producers of Cabernet Franc in the Loire Valley and their wines are incredibly highly sought after. Antoine Foucault is the ninth generation to run the estate and the incomparable quality of the wines is largely due to their uncompromising viticultural standards and minimal intervention winemaking.
The Saumur-Champigny Rouge is sourced from 10 parcels of vines between 30 and 90 years of age from around the communes of Chacé, Varrains and Dampierre-sur-Loire. The 2014 release is medium-bodied, succulent and textural, exuding beautiful notes of black fruits, spice and smoke, with an alluring mineral streak throughout. This is anything but an “entry level” wine with huge layers of complexity and depth.
