Clos Rougeard Saumur Champigny Le Clos 2020

"Le Clos? is considered the estate's calling card. It is the estate wine, drawn from a total of 15 parcels in Chacé, Varrains, and Dampierre that contribute to Le Clos. But it is likely precisely this broader diversity that so clearly illustrates the Rougeard philosophy here time and again. The 2020 vintage is supple and features the usual aromatic suspects: raspberry and red currant, along with dark cherry, violet, and the finest pepper, all framed by a smoky hint of graphite. It's crisp and fresh, with fine yet firm tannins and plenty of potential for the future. It'salso the most approachable 2020 vintage of the Rougeard trio.
