Lot #426. Clos Rougeard Saumur-Champigny Le Bourg 2009

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 94+ WA.
"The 2009 Saumur-Champigny Le Bourg exhibits a strongly smoky aroma and scents of black olive tapenade, sourdough bread, herbal liqueur, along with black cherries and berries. Archaically powerful and concentrated, but also beguilingly pure, fine and elegant, this full-bodied, noble and persistent Cabernet with its silky textured tannins and the well-integrated acidity, has a great aging potential for at least 20 if not 30 or more years, though it is already damned seductive. Nadine Foucault: 'A great wine is not big or heavy. It just needs intensity and finesse, not to mistake for extract and meagerness.'" Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate #215, Oct 2014
Provenance: The Artefact Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $600
