Clos Rougeard - Saumur Champigny Le Clos 2014

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2014 Saumur Champigny Le Clos is a great Champigny that opens with a deep and concentrated, still leathery bouquet of dark fruits. Round and generous on the palate, this is a highly elegant, silky, fresh and perfectly juicy Le Clos with fine tannins and a long and salty finish"

DECANTER: "This is very reductive at this stage, so aeration will be required in order to reveal its attractive floral and minty aromas and dark brambly fruit. It's quite a pleasant mouthfeel, almost Burgundian in character with elements of Morello cherry, but the tannins kick in on the tight finish along with a beguiling gastronomic bitterness. This will require patience."
