Clos Rougeard, Saumur-Champigny Les Poyeux, 2007
One of the Loire's most coveted reds, drinking at maturity. Clos Rougeard, near Chace in Saumur-Champigny, made Cabernet Franc into a vin de garde long before the region was fashionable. Les Poyeux comes from older vines on a gentle south-facing slope of eroded sandstone over tuffeau in Chacé, one of the estate's great single-vineyard cuvées, aged in barrel for depth and length. The 2007 was a cooler, lighter vintage, so this is a graceful, fully resolved bottle to enjoy now. A rare chance to taste Loire history at its peak.
