Clos Rougeard
Clos Rougeard is an extremely respected and well-known estate among Loire Valley wines.
Located in Saumur-Champigny, it was the two brothers Bernard and Charly Foucault who took over the estate in 1969. Clos Rougeard has belonged to this family since 1894. The estate produces one white wine (100% Chenin Blanc) Clos Rougeard Blanc Breze and 3 red wines (100% Cabernet Franc): in Saumur Champigny: Le Clos, Les Poyeux, Le Bourg.
Clos Rougeard wines are renowned for their authenticity as well as their rarity.
Le Bourg comes exclusively from a one-hectare plot planted with 70-year-old vines. The Poyeux plot was first planted in 1664. For authenticity, you can't get more purist than that. No use of chemicals or pesticides, manual harvesting, natural yeasts, no fining or filtering, 2 years of aging in oak barrels... Yields are consequently very low, and the methods used by the Foucault brothers have remained the same for generations.
