Gæring i store æggeformede, ubehandlede betontanke, uden remontage eller pigeage, helt uberørt. Modnet i ca. 2 år i brugte barriques i to lag fra Angelus, Figeac og Montrose. Høsten 2018 på Clos Rougeard var lidt over gennemsnittet, hvilket hjalp med at bevare nok saft i druerne til at forhindre overkoncentration. En fantastisk fin næse med blå blomster, masser af violer og rosenblade, køligere og mere raffineret end den kakaokrydrede Le Clos. Der er også et strejf af sort brød med syrlig brombærsyltetøj, og den duftende sødme fra 2018 skinner igennem. Smagen er også vidunderligt saftig blåbær med en forbløffende mængde frisk cassis, som giver vinen et uventet syreboost. De enorme, totalt modne, men stadig fast grebne tanniner, som trækker vinen op i en vanvittig længde. 96/100

Decanter om: Saumur Champigny Les Poyeux

Subtle minerality on the nose, and like Le Clos this is showing roasted meat characters segueing into animal, but fainter than Le Clos. The palate has an even greater sense of purity and clarity of Cabernet Franc expression, with some hints of tobacco coming out in the glass followed by a sense of chocolate to the texture. There’s a greater sense of fine tannins in the background, partly due to oak (one-year-old barriques as opposed to old barriques used for Le Clos). It's less approachable than Le Clos and will need longer to express itself. 93/100

Galloni om: Saumur Champigny Les Poyeux

The 2018 Les Poyeux offers up a rich, sweet, black-fruited style, which may be more of a reflection of the vintage than the site. It's a lengthy expression, with ripe plum, black cherry a dash of black olive and vanillin signatures of oak maturation. While Les Poyeux tends to be an elegant, delicate style, this is a mouthful, with lots of structure and a long-scented tea-leaf and plum-like finish. While this will be released in early 2024, I would suggest waiting for another two to three years before approaching. 93/100

Jancis Robinson om: Saumur Champigny Les Poyeux

Nose complex and restrained with just a hint of chocolate. Rich and almost sweet on attack then tightens to give length and drive. Slight ‘solar’ feel but quality of tannins exceptional. 17+/20
