Clos Rougeard Saumur Champigny Le Bourg 2019

Description

The Clos Rougeard Saumur-Champigny Le Bourg 2019 is the flagship wine of the legendary Domaine Clos Rougeard — and one of the greatest expressions of Cabernet Franc in the world. Sourced from the minute, south-facing Le Bourg parcel in the heart of Saumur-Champigny, this wine marries majestic depth with silk-smooth texture and near-spiritual intensity. The 2019 vintage is monumental yet ethereal: on the nose, captivating aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and violet intertwine with notes of cigar box, cedar, truffle, and wet limestone. The palate is both powerful and weightless, with velvety tannins, vibrant minerality, and an infinite finish layered with dark fruit, spice, and graphite. A mythical Loire wine that defines elegance, precision, and timeless grace — a true masterpiece and one of France’s greatest red wines.
