Saumur Champigny Le Bourg Clos Rougeard 2014
75 cl
£568.00
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.
Le Bourg is the leading cuvée and comes from a 1-hectare plot of vines that are between 75 and 95 years of age. The 2014 is incredibly intense, aromatically complex and beguilingly elegant, exhibiting beautiful notes of smoky black fruits, cedar, wild herbs and earthy minerality. This will have a wonderfully long life and is best cellared for a few more years before trying.
