Clos Rougeard Les Poyeux Saumur-Champigny 2006

Medium garnet color. Deep nose of red berries, pepper, flowers, so fine and beautiful. The seduction follows on the palate with its silky mouth coating, so gentle. Then flavors of red fruit, a touch of grilled bell pepper, some spices, so long finish and really charms the taster! Tasted blind (with knowing which wine it is or have seen the bottle), I was aiming at a beautiful Côte-Rôtie. I was wrong, but still explainable with the finesse of the wine. First time with this particular wine, had before the “Clos” from the same vintage. This was a magnificent wine. Superb+ (94)
