Clos Rougeard, Saumur Champigny Bourg other_regions_australia (from the Puligny side)This barrel sample expresses liquorice, vanilla and dark fruits, but there's also a Burgundian undercurrent of Morello cherry that comes to the fore. Finely etched tannins provide the foundation for this outstanding 2017.
