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
