2017 Saumur-Champigny, Le Bourg, Clos Rougeard
Dense crimson hue. Complex nose with chalk and chocolate notes to the fore. Punchy and powerful with plenty of drive, the tannins plethoric but extremely fine. Power and finesse combined. Huge potential. ~ (18) James Lawther, JancisRobinson.com 3-15-2022
The 2017 Le Bourg is a classical Cabernet Franc, offering up floral, violet character alongside its characteristic smoky bacon and black tea leaf tones. It's taut and not as burly as the 2018, and I like it for that. Refined, elegant and remarkably delicate on the palate before showing its hand of power and sinew, this is long and delightful. ~ (97) Rebecca Gibb, Vinous 1-1-2024
