Clos Rougeard

These are truly great wines. I adore them. To my palate, the wines have a savoury depth but perfumed delicacy that reminds me of Château Haut-Brion most of all, and if that estate were to be excluded I would turn next to some of the classic left bank styles for my alternative comparison.

If you ever wanted to apply the title “cult producer” to a winery then this would be one of them. There is no question whatsoever that the wines of Rougeard are some of the most sought after and highly prized bottlings from anywhere and their following among collectors could be described as, rabid. The wines, well they are the epitome of the style which is, I suppose, why he has this reputation. ROSCOE
