Clos Rougeard Description

Le Bourg comes from a plot of very old vines in the centre of the village of Chacé, where the terroir is predominantly limestone with a deep clay subsoil. This wine offers very ripe fruit with highly characteristic fiery notes. - Clos Rougeard

Wine Advocate: 94+ Points

The 2009 Saumur-Champigny Le Bourg exhibits a strongly smoky aroma and scents of black olive tapenade sourdough bread herbal liqueur along with black cherries and berries. Archaically powerful and concentrated but also beguilingly pure fine and elegant this full-bodied noble and persistent Cabernet with its silky textured tannins and the well-integrated acidity has a great aging potential for at least 20 if not 30 or more years though it is already damned seductive.
