Clos Rougeard

Coteaux de Saumur Cabernet Franc

Outstanding as usual. Very meaty wine, a little bit green at the back palate which typical for a cab franc. Asian spices and leather. — 8 months ago

"Les Poyeux" Saumur Champigny Cabernet Franc 2021

Very nice extremely drinkable red. Caught my eye as last time we had a wine from Les Poyeux was a Clos Rougeard at Commander’s Palace in New Orleans. This was at Balthazar. Definitely on the more glou glou side of things - but quite enjoyable. And a nice pairing with a frisée lardon, halibut, and a steak au poivre. — a year ago

La Charpentrie Saumur Rouge Cabernet Franc 2017

Super young and took a while to open up. Shy nose of blue flowers, black pepper, baking spices, black currant. More expressive mid palate if a little too tannic. Dark cherries, blackberries, pepper. Cuts a little short in the finish but an amazing effort that will clearly benefit from aging. Not quite a Close rougeard but good stuff. — 2 years ago

Similar profile & character to Clos Rougeard that is still youthful showing red fruits & spice with a polished, silky mouthfeel. — a year ago
