"There's a gorgeous nectarine-like character that runs through Les Poyeux when young and the 2016 is no different. It's silky and seductive in a non-opulent way. Finesse is a word that crops up repeatedly when I tasted this wine: finesse of fragrance - this is delightfully perfumed, pure and precise; finesse of tannins with their fine chalky texture. It is long, scented and charming, thus it could be approached now if you wished but it has a medium to long life ahead. 95/100."- Robert Galloni, Vinous ; La RVF : 18/20.

Viticulture

Le Clos Rougeard is a distinguished name among the great wines of Saumur and Saumur-Champigny. With a viticultural history dating back to the 17th century, the estate—first under the stewardship of the Foucault family and, since 2017, Martin and Olivier Bouygues—has maintained a steadfast commitment to organic farming, producing wines whose excellence matches their rarity. The 2016 Poyeux from Clos Rougeard comes from the eponymous vineyard, renowned since the 17th century for the quality of its wines. This exceptional terroir, covering nearly two hectares, lies on a gentle slope with a rich clay-limestone soil.
