Light red color, no brownish tones. Does this wine have 10+ years already? The nose is spectacular. Like a well aged pinot with a hint of red peppers. My best Rougeard up to date. Mouth not as great if not this would be 94+++

Wine Workshop: Focus on Clos Rougeard (Cafe Evergreen): More in the light style that I had expected of 2011s and which we didn’t see in the white but definitely seems to come through more here. Herbal and some fruit. Drinking well with a long life ahead. Lovely wine.

My first experience with this wine, a pleasure to taste what has to be one of the greatest red wines of the Loire, I initially thought it was an aged Californian Cabernet, nose showed dark bruised red fruit, floral, unsmoked tobacco, bay leaves and dried florals. The palate was soft, elegant and savoury with red slight confit fruit, dried herbs and earthy notes which filled the mid-palate, this finished medium length and lingering. A wonderful experience!

Nez végétal noble, parfumé et séduisant. Texture aérienne, c’est fin, précis et d’une complexité fascinante. Un délice. 93-94 pts
