December 14, 2023 - It was popped and poured yet this beauty already blossomed with red fruit, bell pepper, barnyard and charcoal right out of the gate. Palate was so elegant and expressive with weightless power. It was a wine with tension and class. Just phenomenal.

July 5, 2023 - This pours medium ruby, almost a touch cloudy. The nose is pure and elegant, classically Loire Cab Franc yet about as elegant as one gets. Aromas are of gravel, blueberry, celery, blackberry, rose petal, burlap, charcoal, and a touch of dark cherry. The palate is silky with abundant red fruit, bright medium plus acid, medium tannin and a long finish replaying gravel, celery and a touch of grapefruit pith. Just great stuff that demonstrates why Rougeard is the king while staying true to the region.

June 22, 2023 - Beautiful and classic cabernet franc nose. Not too green. Palate is super harmonious and refined with super a long finale that leaves you with a savoury after taste for 1 minute.
Compared to other Clos Rougeard I could have maybe hope for more punch but honestly this is still superb. -

April 29, 2023 - WOTN. We drank it alongside the 2012. At first the 2012, was the more interesting one, but after an hour of this one blossomed into a , Rich, balanced, and elegant wine. Still primary fruit, but the beginnings of some secondary aromas as well. At a beautiful spot, certainly will hold another decade or more. Love the 12.5% alcohol as well.
