Community Tasting Note

Thursday, July 27, 2023 - In a direct comparison of Clos Rougeard's Brezé and Guiberteau, Guiberteau's wine clearly had the edge. I do not know if the CR was an off bottle or not. It was not a classic cork fault, the wine was too developed, lacked tension and clarity. Some yellow fruit, wax notes - somehow everything like a Burgundy with Premox. The Guiberteau was quite different. The wine shows in the form of a harmonious acidity and a delicate melt that it has now arrived in a good drinking window. Various notes of citrus peel, green pears, lemon balm and chamomile, as well as a nice chalky minerality from the Loire tufa (not to be confused with volcanic tufa) that gives the wine a touch of oyster shell. The wine has a nice medium+ acidity and a good length. It lacks some complexity for a great wine. 92/100 The Brezé of Clos Rougeard was in condition at a maximum of 85 points. Disappointing.
