"The 2007 Les Poyeux from Clos Rougeard is another truly excellent example of the vintage, offering up a deep and classy aromatic mélange of red and black cherries, coffee, woodsmoke, gamebirds, a touch of youthful medicinal tones and a stylish base of nutty new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very tangy, with ripe, measured tannins, lovely nascent complexity, bright acids and excellent focus and grip on the very long, perfectly balanced finish. This is more closed than the 2007 le Bourg out of the blocks and will want a few more years in the cellar, but this too is a truly superb wine in the making."
