Smoky aromatics and ripe red fruits give Clos Rougeard Saumur-Champigny Le Bourg 2019 a slightly northern Rhône accent, layered with cool menthol and dense, pure Cabernet Franc fruit. The frost-reduced yields show in the wine’s intensity: tightly woven, chalk-edged tannins frame the succulent core, leading to a long, dry, spice-laced finish that feels both powerful and composed.

Saumur-Champigny Le Bourg by Clos Rougeard is the estate’s most powerful and rare Cabernet Franc cuvée, drawn from very old, low-yielding vines on thin clay over limestone in the heart of Chacé. Farmed organically and vinified with native yeasts before 18–24 months in small oak barrels, it is a deeply structured, age‑worthy wine that marries dense, ripe fruit and firm tannins with a distinctive chalky-mineral, almost Burgundian elegance.
