Lovely nose with quite savory notes, some red currants, spices, a bit of flowers, dark cherries, and bell pepper. Nice acidity with tart red fruit, more cherries, a bit of earth and forest notes, and a hint of smoke on the palate. Long finish. This is drinking beautifully right now. Well balanced with quite integrated tannins and some tertiary flavors, but it will surely continue to evolve for a long time.

The 2010 Clos Rougeard was so fine and expressive with bell pepper, herbs, red fruit, cassis and tobacco. Palate was silky and smoothe with excellent transperency. Drinking very well already.

(CdV) Quelle finesse et quelle densité! Fruits noirs, sous-bois, mousse de chêne, petit pois, on est bien en Loire! En bouche, l’acidité est prononcée, la tension réveille la finale, et le grain, le grain est fin, racé.

Mouth powerful enough for a Cabernet Franc, on a bright red fruit, sprinkled with spices and a touch of cedar. Juice served by a fine acidity, it is very aromatic, quite dense and enchantingly charming. Nice fresh and spicy finish on a good length.
Excellent

Nose as fruity as herbaceous.
Mouth powerful enough for a Cabernet Franc, on a bright red fruit, sprinkled with spices and a touch of cedar. Juice served by a fine acidity, it is very aromatic, quite dense and enchantingly charming. Nice fresh and spicy finish on a good length.
