Chateau de Fosse-Seche, Saumur, Pigeonnier Reserve

Who filled this bottle with Rougeard? Great depth and texture. Cab franc but not too green. Delicious and feels younger than 14 years.

Powerful notes of wild strawberry and spring flowers, just a hint of red cherry in the background. In the mouth, much the same - a strong wave of wild strawberry, quite sweet, which rather obliterates the blackberry in the second section and finish. The red cherry does get a look-in, but only later. Impressive, in that the fruit, although sweet, is pure enough to probably avoid going syrupy in the future. There is a little crispness to the finish, but …

Stewed.
