Clos Rougeard Saumur-Champigny Le Clos 2006, grown on the clay-limestone hillsides of Chacé. This 100% Cabernet Franc wine combines dark fruits, spices and a distinctive minerality. Fresh and structured, it will continue to develop until 2030 and pairs beautifully with red meats or bold cheeses.
A family estate rooted in Chacé, in Anjou, where Cabernet Franc expresses itself with rare fidelity to the terroir.
- Terroir: Clay-limestone soils of Saumur-Champigny, where chalk and clay sculpt wines of vibrant minerality and natural elegance.
- Vinification: Organic methods and a low-intervention approach, yielding cuvées that reveal the purity of the fruit and the tension of the terroir.
Tasting notes for Clos Rougeard Saumur-Champigny Le Clos 2006
To the eye: Deep garnet robe with tiled reflections, a silky texture and a chalky density that heralds a generous substance.
On the nose: Aromas of fresh morello cherry, wild blackberry and violet, followed by a touch of graphite and a subtle mineral salinity, like an echo of the limestone soils.
On the palate: A lively and precise attack, where taut acidity marries silky tannins and a chalky minerality, leading to a long, saline finish carried by a persistent elegance.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux-style red wine glass to fully release its complexity.
Vintage 2006
A vintage marked by balanced ripeness, where freshness and concentration respond to each other in harmony.
- Ageing potential: To be kept until 2030 under optimal conditions (stable temperature, away from light and humidity).
