| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.7 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 55 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by JJYoyo on 11/16/2023 & rated 93 points: Walk around tasting. Very expressive nose of dark berries, tomato leaf, pencil lead, dried herbs. Very cab franc on the palate cassis, black cherry, black olive and a little bell pepper. Surprisingly resolved tannins and lower acidity feel than I expected. Exotic and magnificent.
Score: 93. Relative to expectations: ++ (1421 views) | | | Tasted by B Paul on 9/9/2023: Drinking lovely, though still relatively youthful. Classic Cab Franc here with the silky texture and high pedigree expected from Rougeard. Looks like I have another bottle of this, which I’ll probably wait at least a couple of years on. (1499 views) | | | Tasted by Eriklainen on 5/29/2023: What a perfumed nose. This is so exciting. Bellpepper, blueberries, violets, lilacs and a million different other flowers I don't know the name of. Like a garden. Things change on the palate - fruit is really fading. Needs drinking up. Can't see this getting any better. But the nose... wow (1958 views) | | | Tasted by ccn on 4/29/2023 & rated 91 points: Extremely interesting and intellectual wine. Bell pepper in the attack, very elegant, with a great bright acidity. Never quite came together with a slightly missing mid palate , and suffered by comparison to the 2014 what was the richer and more complete wine, but a joy to drink as well. At a perfect point in its evolution, with a fruit, acid, minerals, and the beginnings of some secondary aromas. (2099 views) | | | Tasted by MC2 Wines on 3/14/2023: Wine Workshop: Focus on Clos Rougeard (Cafe Evergreen): Lighter style than the 2013, very easy. Bright and herbal. Spices. Drinks very well. (2485 views) | | | Tasted by viniferatu on 1/15/2023: la Gloire de la Loire...
cherry juice, stone and distillate, a little licorice and tobacco, delicate green herbs and walnut oil
silky and open-knit, this is in a great spot (2234 views) | | | Tasted by byzero on 11/14/2022 & rated 93 points: DAY 1
Served with VINLOQ
👃Red berries with anise, cardamom, clove, licorice. Became perfumed with time in the glass
👅Earthy, herbals, spices & fruit. Light tannins
"Slow Decanted" the remaining wine in my refrigerator
DAY5
👃More detailed with red fruit, 5 spice, ash, green leaves & purple flowers. Elegant & seductive
👅Silky and classy. Med body. Great finish. Needs a touch more midpalate intensity but it is refined, charming and irresistible
DAY 10
Still drinking well but not hitting all of the subtle notes
Slow Decanting preference:
Day5>Day1>Day10

(1770 views) | | | Tasted by Wine Canuck on 9/24/2022 & rated 95 points: Montreal 2022; 9/23/2022-9/25/2022 (Montreal): This pours light ruby in the glass. The nose is immediately expressive and complex, showing an extremely classical, gorgeous, and immaculate Loire Cab Franc profile. The nose is of green tobacco leaf, fresh black currant, charcoal, gravel, ripe black raspberry, shrubby herbs, burlap, cigar ash, and leather. Awesome nose. The palate is elegant and pure silk entering on the gorgeous black currants turning to medium minus tannin and medium acid with lovely purity and caressing texture. The finish is long recalling much of the nose. Just amazing and a fabulous first Clos Rougeard experience. (2340 views) | | | Tasted by Mario17 on 6/18/2022 & rated 90 points: Moins top que la dernière bouteille, du poivron rouge et des notes végétales nobles mais la magie Rougeard n’est pas tout à fait au RV. Manque un peu de profondeur cette bouteille.
Lacks the usual depth despite the red peppers and “noble” vegetal aromas, bottle mot as good as the last one i had of this 2012. (2125 views) | | | Tasted by Goodwine4ever on 6/18/2022 & rated 92 points: Rouge brique, beau nez sur le fruit croquant structuré, très Pinot Noir style Gevrey-Chambertin. En bouche cest frais, petite touche végétale mais tout en subtilité, vraiment frais, la touche typique Clos Rougeard. Petit millésime mais bien fait. J'aime bien. (1808 views) | | | Tasted by Hanibal on 3/6/2022 & rated 91 points: Very well made wine and has the typical cab franc components one would hope for however it all seemed watered down somehow as the level of concentration is not up to par with my previous experiences with Rougeard. (2878 views) | | | Tasted by d'Artagnan on 3/4/2022 & rated 92 points: Arrivé à maturité et issu d’un millésime léger, le vin est charmeur, avec une texture élégante, suave, des notes classiques de poivron rouge. Savoureux et bien équilibré, ce n’est pas le plus profond ou long, mais il a néanmoins la finesse et ce côté envoûtant des vins du domaine. Très satisfaisant et bien meilleur qu'en 2020. 92 pts (2342 views) | | | Tasted by NickA on 2/11/2022 & rated 95 points: Cabernet Franc turned up to 11! I hadn't previously tried this famous producer, and wondered whether the reputation was deserved... well, it does seem to be. Very concentrated; one might describe the wine as full-bodied, but that would be to underplay its weightless quality. Incredibly perfumed, and deliciously so, like an earthy, fruity, extra-savoury Bloody Mary; I have had Bordeaux that smells similarly, but not at this relatively young age, and rarely with such perfect, compelling balance of aromas. Slightly less exciting on the palate, though again with excellent balance, making it extremely food-friendly. Out of my usual price range, alas, but Rougeard is definitely 'on the list' now. (2291 views) | | | Tasted by benjamin96 on 12/31/2021 & rated 93 points: Premiere fois avec rougeard, et je comprend l’engouement. Melange enivrant de petits fruits rouges, poivron noble ( prend tout son sens ici), legeres épices. Le vin est plutot délicat qur sur une grosse concentration, mais le tout est fort jolie et bien typé cab franc. On comprend le Hype, et pour le prix paye c’est excellent. (2320 views) | | | Tasted by Brian of Mull on 12/18/2021 & rated 94 points: Opened for 2 hours. Color is medium ruby (translucent). On the nose: Cassis, green vegetal notes and some sour funk. On the palate: Green peppers, cassis, a bit of spice and soft sour cherry. Mouthfeel is very soft and elegant. (2138 views) | | | Tasted by Vinum Deorum on 10/6/2021 & rated 93 points: Much more expressive than my last bottle a couple of months ago. Splendid nose, and a more elegant mouthfeel. Slightly herbaceous, a bit of green pepper, but a very pure and elegant fruit that gives this Cabernet Franc a sensual and seductive texture. Medium-bodiel, nice length and very balanced. Both muscular and intellectual. Positively charming. Very much looking forward to trying a 2012 Poyeux, and even more a 2012 Bourg in a couple of years. (2309 views) | | | Tasted by Mario17 on 8/28/2021 & rated 94 points: Quel beau vin! Des notes végétales avec classe et élégance, on retrouve cela chez Rougeard seulement. Un vin savoureux, du fruit, des notes fines de poivron mais à peine, longueur, volume, texture, tout y est malgré un millésime moyen.. 93-94
What a nice bottle, classy and elegant vegetal and green pepper notes that only Rougeard can do as a signature. Everything is there, class, texture, contained power, fruit, length, balance, gorgeous. (2628 views) | | | Tasted by mye on 5/30/2021: Initially a hint of green pepper, vegetal herbal note that's typical of the variety. With air, the wine expresses this potpourri of red berries fruit and earth. Medium weight, balanced well with good acidity and structure. Finish that persists. what a lovely bottle. (2712 views) | | | Tasted by Vinum Deorum on 4/27/2021 & rated 91 points: Nice but not outstanding. A bit herbaceous, medium-bodied, moderate length. Soft tanins, fleshy on the mouth. Nose was gorgeous, but on the mouth it was still a bit tight. Should improve with a few more years. (2532 views) | | | Tasted by d'Artagnan on 11/21/2020: De corps léger, une texture aérienne qui évoque la Bourgogne. Plus serré que la dernière fois, serait sans doute meilleur dans quelques années. (3271 views) | | | Tasted by Jean-Philippe M on 9/21/2020: Meilleur que le Poyeux j'ai bu récemment. Beaucoup d'arômes secondaire et même tertiaire, belle finesse et une belle substance.
4,5/5 (2845 views) | | | Tasted by nmichaud1 on 9/19/2020: 2eme expérience avec Rougeard et encore une fois à mon sens un coup de circuit. Tellement particulier, facile à boire et complet. C'est tout en finesse et avec une substance de velour. Excellent (2581 views) | | | Tasted by melvinyeowq on 8/16/2020: First time trying a Rougeard. Very pretty nose but smelt better than it tasted. Very clean and correct but the palate did not show much, Too young? (2636 views) | | | Tasted by Mazy on 7/22/2020 & rated 90 points: PNP. J'ai trouvé l'accord de choix pour la longe de porc fumée! Le côté fumé de la viande vient aplanir les notes végétales du vin. Il en ressort une bombe de fruits rouges, principalement les cerises, avec une grande profondeur et complexité. On retrouve le côté tannique, légèrement acidulé et végétal du vin après le repas. Super accord!
