La Revue du Vin de France January - 2022
La Revue du Vin de France
Green Guide 2022 A very fine Loire balance emerges in this 2016, vinified with gentleness and tact by Antoine Foucault. A Cabernet Franc of seductive florality and restrained substance. It should take on Burgundian airs over the next ten years.

Clos Rougeard

Clos Rougeard is an extremely respected and well-known estate among Loire Valley wines.

Located in Saumur-Champigny, the estate was taken over by the two brothers Bernard and Charly Foucault in 1969. Clos Rougeard has belonged to this family since 1894.

The estate produces one white wine (100% Chenin Blanc) – Saumur Blanc Breze – and 3 red wines (100% Cabernet Franc): Saumur Champigny Le Clos, Les Poyeux, and Le Bourg.

The wines of Clos Rougeard 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 Les Poyeux plot was first planted in 1664. For authenticity, it doesn't get more purist than this. No use of chemicals or pesticides, manual harvesting, natural yeasts, no fining or filtration, 2 years of aging in oak barrels... Consequently, yields are very low, and the methods used by the Foucault brothers have remained the same for generations.
