Susan Hulme MW

rich texture is classic Rieussec while the level of sweetness is more balanced than in some previous vintages

The 2015 Brut Vintage Rosé is generous and demonstrative

the Minéral is infused with tremendous mineral and soil inflections that give a real feeling of gravitas

A really superb DP

2013 Saumur-Champigny, Le Bourg, Clos Rougeard, Loire grande-montagne-reims Susan Hulme MWThe 2013 Saumur Champigny Le Bourg opens delicate like a Burgundy, with floral as well as flinty and toasty aromas but also intense red fruit and dark cherry ones. Pure, fine, and juicy on the palate, this is a silky elegant Le Bourg with fine tannins and a long, salty and mineral finish. Wine Advocate
