Moins top que la dernière bouteille, du poivron rouge et des notes végétales nobles mais la magie Rougeard n’est pas tout à fait au RV. Manque un peu de profondeur cette bouteille.

Lacks the usual depth despite the red peppers and “noble” vegetal aromas, bottle mot as good as the last one i had of this 2012. — 11 days ago

2020 vintage. Young and primary, with a definitive soapy/detergent-like character. Green apple, lemon syrup, small white flower, laundry detergent, hay, chamomile, green pear, chalk. — 15 days ago

A warm vintage, medium lemon color with aromas of white fruits and wet stone aromas. On the palate flavors of ripe apple & peach, very complex, lively acidity. Long finish ending with mineral and sweet honey character, should age well, but great now! — a day ago

Vintage 2019 | very true to type Cabernet Franc - with blackberries and cherries in smell, a faint austerity in taste, good acids, lovely effort | paired with a mushroom lasagne — 4 days ago

Oh man! Big woolly Chenin nose. Wow. Electric Kool Aid with wool electric cut. Wow. A mammoth electrified. Some almonds, Meyer lemon as well. Super refined and elegant nose. So clean. Wow. Just Rieslingesque Chenin. Palate is immaculate. Perfect texture, balance and lithe concentration and almost a tannic impression on the back end. So sappy and pure. Brilliant finesse. Wow. This is drop dead. Super wine. Wow. Has 10+ years to go. Super lemony and no lack of acid. Long long finish. Dynamite. — 22 days ago

Really enjoyable cab franc from the Loire. Lively and fun and seemingly carefully crafted to achieve a beautiful, round finish, not like new world cab franc and definitely not spicy, or fruit forward. — 19 days ago
