2004 Clos Rougeard (Foucault) Saumur-Champigny

2004 Clos Rougeard (Foucault) Saumur-Champigny – France, Loire Valley, Anjou-Saumur, Saumur-Champigny (2/19/2010)
Light in color, body, and flavor. Mint and cedar nose. Initially, I couldn’t help but be reminded of grape kool-aid when one added too much water to the powdered mix. Luckily it did flesh out a bit with air. Tart strawberries, rhubarb, and celery in a delicate package. Not bad but could have used a little “something-something” to make it worth the $40 retail. Drank as part of Wineberserkers.com Loire Valley wine exploration week.(83 pts.)
