the majority working in the vineyards

powerful and moderately austere finish

and the latest of the decade

fullbodied and minerally flavors that possess ample amounts of mouth coating dry extract that also largely buffer the chewy

One of my favorite wines

Clos Rougeard, Saumur Champigny Poyeux Vintage:2010 the majority working in theDeep ruby. Lovely lift to the gamey aromas of blackberry, violet and wild flowers. Discreetly sweet, layered and seamless, showing perfectly integrated acidity and a chalky quality to the vibrant tannins. Juicy, vinous, intense and delicately suave, this distinguished cabernet franc finishes with subdued cassis fruit, subtle spices and superb length, reminding Nady of the 1993. Joel B. Payne
