Clos Rougeard “Les Poyeux” – Saumur Champigny 2015

Clos Rougeard has always been a separate estate in the Saumur-Champigny appellation. When most of the winegrowers took the side of high yield viticulture, wines that were not always qualitatively flawless, the Foucault brothers, Charly and Nady, like their ancestors before them, signed different wines, on freshness and velvety. “Haute couture” viticulture, low yields, long aging in barrels, vinification using indigenous yeasts have made it possible to produce on this 10 hectare estate, terroir wines considered to be the most representative of the appellation with potential for wine. important guard (15 to 25 years).

Slightly bloody, beautiful notes of violet, rose, blackcurrant “al dente” with always this touch of menthol and mint when aired. Juicy and fleshy, the palate always impresses with the quality of its tannins, the tension and this finish with so particular aromas. Very tasty and slightly salty. Superb precision and freshness.
