Classic and exceptional. A savory nose full of smoke, black pepper, and spice. Lively juicy and complex on the palate, with black cherry, red berries and olives, as well as licorice and green tobacco. It is long, succulent and fresh. The blend of elegance and rusticity one hopes for in Loire reds. (Jason Wilson, Vinous, July 2020)

DAY 1
Served with VINLOQ
đRed berries with anise, cardamom, clove, licorice. Became perfumed
đ
Earthy, herbals, spices & fruit. Light
tannins
âSlow Decantedâ remaining wine in my refrigerator
DAY5
đMore detailed with red fruit, 5 spice, ash, green leaves & purple flowers. Elegant & seductive
đ
Silky and classy. Med body. Great finish. Needs a touch more midpalate intensity but it is refined, charming and irresistible
DAY 10
Still drinking well but not hitting all of the subtle notes
Slow Decanting preference:

What a nice bottle, classy and elegant vegetal and green pepper notes that only Rougeard can do as a signature. Everything is there, class, texture, contained power, fruit, length, balance, gorgeous.
Quel beau vin! Des notes végétales avec classe et élégance, on retrouve cela chez Rougeard seulement. Un vin savoureux, du fruit, des notes fines de poivron mais à peine, longueur, volume, texture, tout y est malgré un millésime moyen.. 93-94
