Clos Rougeard 'Le Bourg' 2018, Saumur‑Champigny, France, 2 bottles of 0.75 L each, Cabernet Franc, neck‑fill level with a fully intact metal capsule and readable label, rated 17/20 by La Revue du Vin de France.
Description from the seller
'Le Bourg' comes from a plot of very old vines in the heart of the village of Chacé, where the soil is predominantly limestone with deep clays. The aging potential is immense with at least 30 years of aging or more. Biodynamics also brings a lot of energy to the vine and in the wines. Le Clos Rougeard makes it a point of honor to control the yields (6 clusters per vine) and the end of maturity, the only way to obtain beautiful concentrations that allow obtaining great wines of terroir and aging. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, long ageing in experienced barrels from great Bordeaux, Burgundy or Jura estates.
With Le Bourg, we touch the quintessence of Clos Rougeard! “Le Bourg”, on this solar 2018 vintage, features an impenetrable dress, a deep nose and a solid frame: wild raspberry cream, cocoa mint, cigar box, oriental spice, and withered rose. The mouth is powerful, the flavors of black fruits spread sensually in the mouth and the tannins structure the whole with class and panache. Endless persistence, to drink over the next 20 years at least.
