Château Moulin Du Bourg

Clos Rougeard

Le Bourg Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc 2018

Clos Rougeard Le Bourg 2018 (Magnum)

Deep ruby in the glass. The bouquet is truly very fine: refined and elegant, with aromas of cassis, black cherry and plum, lifted by graphite, tobacco and a touch of violets.


On the palate, the first impression is the velvety texture. The tannins are ripe and finely grained, well integrated into a wine that balances power with elegance.

The fruit is pure and lively, supported by fresh acidity and a clear sense of minerality.

The finish is long and harmonious, with dark berries and subtle spice lingering. Already impressive today, with plenty of potential to evolve further.

For me the best Le Bourg in years!

I love Moulin Touchais “stickies.” Haven’t had one in many years unfortunately. I have to change that soon.

Vieilles Vignes de 1903 Moulin-à-Vent Gamay

Having this 2022 with a Montreal grilled pork chop and a fresh local tomato basil mozzarella salad and it has been one of the perfect pairings of all time. The wine is a little young but comes into its own with the pork. Black petrified forest stones with just picked raspberries and tart morello cherries. A hint of Bret in the background which enh the interest without ever competing with the fruit and wet stones. Outstanding with at least 4 years ahead if it — 19 days ago

@Peter van den Besselaar, I’ve purchased a few of these (mostly 2011, 2015), for some reason in California they don’t sell through at full retail pricing, and I can grab a few at 2/3 retail, or less, and I’ve always enjoyed them.
