Clos de Rougeard

Clos de Rougeard Saumur Champigny 2019 0,75l

Cabernet Franc from the clay-limestone parcels of Saumur-Champigny gives this wine remarkable clarity. The historic estate in Chacé has avoided synthetic products for generations and works with minimal intervention. Crunchy red fruit, floral tones and fine spice unfold on the nose. The palate is silky and poised, combining cool tension with a long, exact finish. Extended ageing in the estate's tuffeau cellars adds calm depth without obscuring freshness. Serve it with lamb, duck breast, mushrooms or mature hard cheese. It is equally compelling on its own, revealing a nuanced expression of the Loire. Vinofant presents it for dinners and occasions suited to quiet distinction.
