Frequently Asked Questions

Clos Rougeard was founded in 1664 on the lands of Chacé, a village located not far from Saumur, and eight generations of winemakers have succeeded one another at its helm. It was the Foucault family, and more particularly brothers Charly and Nady, who forged the estate's international reputation from the 1970s onwards, by adopting viticulture free of chemical inputs at a time when agrochemistry was dominant. In 1993, during a blind tasting held in Paris bringing together great wines from Pomerol, the Clos Rougeard cuvée Le Bourg came out on top ahead of the appellation's greatest names. This remarkable feat definitively established the estate as an absolute reference in the Loire Valley.

The estate produces a deliberately limited number of cuvées, each linked to a specific plot. Le Clos is drawn from a blend of several parcels and offers an accessible yet highly precise expression of the estate's style. Les Poyeux stands out for its delicacy, floral aromas and silky mouthfeel. Le Bourg, sourced from very old vines, is undoubtedly the most emblematic cuvée: powerful, structured and built for ageing. Brézé, in white, reveals the full nobility of Chenin Blanc with a marked minerality and remarkable complexity. 

Aging potential is one of the most remarkable signatures of Clos Rougeard. Thanks to more than two years of aging in barrels and maturation in tuffeau cellars carved seven meters underground, the wines develop exceptional longevity. The entry-level cuvée Le Clos already presents an aging potential of at least 30 years, while Les Poyeux and Le Bourg can span several decades in great vintages. The white Brézé is no exception: its longevity is often underestimated, with certain vintages evolving favorably well beyond twenty years in the cellar.

Clos Rougeard is located in the Saumur-Champigny appellation, in the heart of the Loire Valley. Its three red cuvées are made from Cabernet Franc, while its white cuvée is made from Chenin Blanc, the Loire’s two emblematic grape varieties. The vineyard lies on rich clay-limestone soils with tuffeau, the region’s distinctive limestone, which promotes slow, even ripening of the grapes. This combination of grape varieties and terroir gives the estate’s wines their floral, mineral character and great finesse.

The winemaking philosophy at Clos Rougeard is based on minimal human intervention. The vines are cultivated using biodynamics, without herbicides or pesticides. Extended ageing, lasting from 18 to 30 months, produces red and white wines of great complexity. The grapes are harvested by hand, the wines undergo neither fining nor filtration, and the dose of sulphur used is minimal. This artisanal and patient approach has been at the heart of the estate's identity for several generations.

Clos Rougeard wines lend themselves to beautiful food pairings thanks to their elegant and structured profile. The red wines pair perfectly with red meats, game, braised dishes, or aged cheeses, and their finesse also allows for subtle pairings with more contemporary gastronomic cuisine. The white Brézé, for its part, ideally accompanies noble fish, crustaceans, and refined dishes based on seafood. For enthusiasts who wish to fully enjoy the complexity of the red cuvées, decanting for one to two hours is generally recommended before serving.

History of Domaine Clos Rougeard

Founded in 1664 in the village of Chacé, Clos Rougeard is one of the most prestigious wine estates in the Loire Valley. Over the centuries, eight generations of the Foucault family have maintained and refined the estate’s viticultural practices. In the 1970s, Charly and Nady Foucault, members of the eighth generation, brought about a genuine revolution by adopting organic farming methods long before they became a trend.

A true visionary, Charly Foucault devoted himself to creating wines that could rival the finest grands crus while following a simple philosophy: let the wine express itself naturally. Together with his brother Nady, he established Clos Rougeard as a global benchmark, notably through distinctive winemaking techniques and wines made without chemicals.

After Charly’s death in 2015, the estate was acquired in 2017 by the Bouygues family, who also own Château Montrose in Saint-Estèphe, marking a new era for this iconic estate. Under Cyril Chirouze’s direction since 2022, Clos Rougeard has continued to uphold its quality standards while carrying on the Foucault brothers’ legacy.

Terroirs and vineyards of Domaine Clos Rougeard

The Clos Rougeard vineyard covers 15 hectares across 25 separate plots, primarily on clay-limestone soils. This exceptional terroir, respected and preserved for generations, is home to very old vines, some over 100 years old. The estate has never used chemicals, fostering rich biodiversity that contributes to the distinctive quality of its wines.

Most of the vines are planted with Cabernet Franc, the signature grape of the Saumur-Champigny appellation, while a small portion is devoted to Chenin Blanc for the white cuvées. This terroir’s diverse soils produce wines of unparalleled depth and finesse that remain true to nature’s pure expression.

Winemaking at Domaine Clos Rougeard

At Clos Rougeard, winemaking is approached as a gentle, minimalist process. The guiding principle: let time do its work. After meticulous hand-harvesting, the grapes are handled with care to preserve their purity and distinctive character.

The wines are made without any chemical intervention, in keeping with the wine’s natural cycles. Aging takes 18 to 30 months in oak barrels, deep within cellars carved into tuffeau limestone more than seven meters underground. This long maturation allows the wines to develop complex aromas, an elegant structure, and a silky texture.

The cuvées of Domaine Clos Rougeard

Domaine Clos Rougeard produces four signature cuvées, each expressing the distinctive character of its terroir.

Le Clos: Sourced from 15 clay-limestone plots in Saumur-Champigny, Le Clos stands out for its delicate floral and spicy aromas. This wine showcases the fresh, vibrant fruit of Cabernet Franc while retaining an elegant freshness. Ideal for those seeking a refined, balanced wine.

Les Poyeux: This cuvée comes from a 3-hectare plot with a distinctive terroir of clay and well-draining windblown sand. Les Poyeux stands out for its finesse and elegance. Floral notes and hints of red berries give it immediate charm, while it retains exceptional aging potential.

Le Bourg: Made from very old vines planted on predominantly limestone soils, this wine is more powerful, with aromas of ripe fruit and a dense texture. Careful winemaking and extended aging give Le Bourg impressive complexity; it needs several years in the cellar to reach its peak.

Brézé: A signature white cuvée of the estate, Brézé is a Chenin Blanc from an exceptional limestone terroir. Marked by minerality and salinity, this wine offers distinctive aromatic richness with exotic notes. Its structure and creamy texture give it remarkable character.

Clos Rougeard produces wines that evolve beautifully over time. Recent vintages worth exploring include 2019, 2018, 2017, 2015, 2010, 2009, 2005, 2002, 1996, 1995, 1990, and 1989…

The Loire Valley is a wine region of extraordinary richness, renowned for the diversity and quality of its wines. Beyond Clos Rougeard, several other estates in the Saumur and Saumur-Champigny area deserve the attention of fine-wine lovers, including Didier Dagueneau, Stéphane Bernaudeau, Richard Leroy, and François Cotat.

Each of these estates carries on a winemaking tradition rooted in history and respect for local terroirs, offering distinctive wines that express Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc in this part of the Loire Valley.

Clos Rougeard is far more than a wine estate; it is a living heritage that embodies the perfection of Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc in the Loire Valley. The cuvées of this legendary estate are sought after worldwide for their finesse, depth, and ability to evolve beautifully over time. With limited production and impeccable quality, Clos Rougeard wines have become rare treasures for discerning wine lovers. If you are looking to buy an exceptional wine, Clos Rougeard is an essential choice at the best price.
