"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."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
An aromatic red grape lending perfume, red fruit and a leafy, savory edge. It thrives in the Loire and as a key blending partner in Bordeaux, especially Saint-Emilion.
