Aged in 80% new small oak barrels, the 2014 Saumur Champigny Le Bourg opens with a smoky, spicy and fleshy bouquet of dark fruits intertwined with clove aromas. Round and supple on the palate, this is a full-bodied, rich and juicy but also elegant Le Bourg that represents super ripe and sweet fruit (with licorice notes) along with ripe tannins.
