White pepper and crushed stone define the nose, with hints of green apple and herbs. The palate shows impressive concentration. Taut and mineral-driven with that characteristic Brezé intensity. Still locked up tight and needs several more years to reveal its full potential.

Clos Rougeard

Clos Rougeard is the benchmark domaine of Saumur-Champigny, producing Cabernet Franc reds and Chenin Blanc whites of extraordinary longevity from old vines on tuffeau. Bottles are scarce, sought-after, and age for decades.
