Unlike other estates of similar stature, Domaine Clos Rougeard is not based in Bordeaux, Burgundy, or Champagne, but in the Loire Valley, with vineyards covering 10 hectares within the appellations of Saumur and Saumur Champigny.

The 'Le Bourg' is a dense wine which undergoes 18-24 months' élevage in new oak barrels (just 3,000 bottles of each cuvée are produced per year on average).

Drinking window: 2023 - 2038

What the critics say:

97/100Yohan Castaing, Decanter

"This barrel sample expresses liquorice, vanilla and dark fruits, but there's also a Burgundian undercurrent of Morello cherry that comes to the fore. Finely-etched tannins provide the foundation for this outstanding 2017."

18/20James Lawther MW, Jancis Robinson

"Dense crimson hue. Complex nose with chalk and chocolate notes to the fore. Punchy and powerful with plenty of drive, the tannins plethoric but extremely fine. Power and finesse combined. Huge potential."
