Clos Rougeard

Saumur Champigny Cabernet Franc

9.5

Yeah, that didn't suck. 2008 drinking really well. Beautiful and powerful in the mouth. Lots of soy and cranberry in the mouth. I thought it would be much more green given the vintage but it was ripe and round and not herbal in the least. It was a great bottle and in its seventh year it was in full bloom. — 10 years ago

François Chidaine

Les Choisilles Montlouis-sur-Loire Chenin Blanc 2013

Pretty darn tight and pretty darn dry and only 12.5% alcohol. Needs a little time but should be good. — 10 years ago
