Tasting Notes

Vinous Joel Payne - 01 Dec 14
Dark ruby with a hint of garnet. Lovely violet lift to the aromas of ripe plum, black olive and licorice. Fresh and aromatic on the palate, showing noteworthy verve to the enormously rich flavors of sour cherry, wild flowers, smoky spices, licorice and mint. Finishes long and lively in spite of its concentration, with firm but smooth tannins. Nady believes this will evolve along the lines of the great warm vintages of the past like 1959 and 1947.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Stephan Reinhardt - 31 Oct 14
The 2009 Saumur-Champigny Le Clos is fragrant and floral on the nose where tenderly ripe cherry flavors and black berries indicate a classic Cabernet Franc. Vigorous, well concentrated and with gripping tannins and a vital acidity this pure, medium to full-bodied wine exhibits ripe fruit aromas of black olives and dark berries and leather and just asks for some more years on the bottle.
