Clos Rougeard Les Poyeux 2018 – Saumur’s Legendary Cabernet Franc

Region: Saumur-Champigny, Loire Valley, France
Varietal: 100% Cabernet Franc | Vintage: 2018 | Alcohol: 12.5%
Farming: Biodynamic | Aging Potential: 10+ years

Critical Acclaim:

• Decanter 93pts: “A floral masterpiece with violets, peonies, and layered dark fruits. Vibrant acidity and a silky texture make it irresistibly drinkable now.”
• Vinous 93pts: “Opulent yet structured—think ripe plums, black cherries, and a whisper of olive. Best after 2026 for optimal complexity.”

Why This Wine Stands Out:

Crafted by the elusive Clos Rougeard—often called the “Domaine of the Loire’s gods”—this biodynamic Cabernet Franc embodies finesse and rarity. Unlike mass-produced Loire reds, Les Poyeux is a cellar-worthy investment, with tannins that soften into elegance over decades.

Key Features:
✔ Collector’s Gem: Allocations are fiercely limited—own a piece of French viticultural history.
✔ Age-Worthy Profile: Built to evolve, offering deeper truffle and spice notes with time.
✔ Terroir-Driven: Biodynamic farming ensures purity, with no synthetic interventions.

Perfect For: Discerning collectors, Cabernet Franc enthusiasts, or those seeking a wine that balances immediate charm (floral aromas, juicy fruit) with long-term potential.
