Clos Rougeard Les Poyeux 1996
Saumur-Champigny
The 1996 Clos Rougeard Les Poyeux is a great red wine from Saumur-Champigny, produced by the Foucault brothers, emblematic figures of the Loire. Produced from a plot of sand and limestone on tuffeau, this 100% Cabernet Franc expresses all the finesse and depth of the terroir. The 1996 vintage, with its slow maturation and marked natural acidity, offers a wine of rare elegance, with a silky texture and remarkable aromatic complexity. Aromas of ripe red fruits, blond tobacco, truffle and undergrowth blend into a precise, balanced and persistent palate. Now perfectly mature, the 1996 Les Poyeux embodies the quintessence of the Clos Rougeard style: a unique alliance between intensity, refinement and authenticity.
