Saumur-Champigny Le Clos 2008 is Cabernet Franc red from the legendary Loire Valley estate Clos Rougeard. Firm, precise tannins and high aromatic height define this cooler vintage, which prioritised elegance over power. Sourced from several heritage parcels, the wine displays notes of raspberries, wild herbs, graphite and a distinct smoky minerality. Following a long maturation in deep tuffeau caves, the palate is lithe and energetic. It possesses a vertical structure and a transparency that marks the traditional Foucault style.
