Frequently Asked Questions

Clos Rougeard was established in 1664 on the lands of Chacé, a village located not far from Saumur, and eight generations of winegrowers have succeeded one another at its helm. It was the Foucault family, and more particularly the brothers Charly and Nady, who forged the estate's international reputation from the 1970s onwards, by adopting a 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 cuvée Le Bourg from Clos Rougeard came first, ahead of the greatest names in the appellation. This remarkable feat definitively consecrated the estate as an absolute reference of the Loire.

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. The three red cuvées are made from Cabernet Franc, and the white cuvée is made from Chenin Blanc, the two emblematic grape varieties of the Loire. The vineyard rests on rich clay-limestone soils associated with the presence of tuffeau, the emblematic stone of the region, which promotes slow and balanced ripening of the grapes. This unique combination of grape variety and terroir gives the estate's wines their floral, mineral signature and great finesse.

The winemaking philosophy of Clos Rougeard is based on minimal human intervention. The vines are cultivated using biodynamic methods, without herbicides or pesticides. Long aging periods, lasting from 18 to 30 months, produce red and white wines of great complexity. The grapes are harvested by hand, the wines undergo neither fining nor filtration, and the amount of sulfur 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 succeeded one another to maintain and perfect the estate's viticultural practices. It was in the 1970s that Charly and Nady Foucault, representatives of the eighth generation, undertook a true revolution by adopting organic farming methods well before they became a trend.

Charly Foucault, a true visionary, dedicated himself to creating wines capable of rivaling the greatest crus, while respecting a simple philosophy: let the wine express itself naturally. With his brother Nady, they established Clos Rougeard as a worldwide reference, notably through unique vinification techniques and wines produced without chemical products.

After Charly's death in 2015, the estate was acquired by the Bouygues family in 2017, also owners of Château Montrose in Saint Estèphe, marking a new era for this iconic estate. Under the direction of Cyril Chirouze since 2022, Clos Rougeard continues to maintain its quality standards while perpetuating the legacy of the Foucault brothers.

Terroirs and Vineyards of Domaine Clos Rougeard

The Clos Rougeard vineyard spans 15 hectares divided into 25 distinct parcels, primarily on clay-limestone soils. This exceptional terroir, respected and preserved for generations, is home to very old vines, some of which are over 100 years old. The estate has never used chemical products, thus promoting rich biodiversity that contributes to the unique quality of its wines.

The majority of the vines are planted with Cabernet Franc, the emblematic grape variety of the Saumur-Champigny appellation, while a small portion is dedicated to Chenin Blanc, used for the white cuvées. This terroir, characterized by great soil diversity, allows for the production of wines with unparalleled depth and finesse, while remaining faithful to the pure expression of nature.

Vinification at Domaine Clos Rougeard

At Clos Rougeard, vinification is conceived as a gentle and minimalist process. The guiding principle: let time do its work. After meticulous manual harvesting, the grapes are handled with care to preserve their purity and unique character.

Vinifications are carried out without any chemical intervention, respecting the natural cycles of the wine. Aging, for its part, lasts between 18 and 30 months in oak barrels, in the heart of cellars carved into the tufa stone, more than seven meters underground. This long refining process allows the wines to develop complex aromas, elegant structure, and silky texture.

The Cuvées of Domaine Clos Rougeard

The Clos Rougeard estate produces four emblematic cuvées, each expressing the singularity of its terroir.

Le Clos: From 15 clay-limestone parcels located in Saumur-Champigny, Le Clos is distinguished by its delicate floral and spicy aromas. This wine showcases the crisp fruit of Cabernet Franc, while maintaining elegant freshness. Ideal for those seeking a refined and balanced wine.

Les Poyeux: This cuvée comes from a 3-hectare parcel, offering a unique terroir of clay and draining aeolian sands. Les Poyeux is a wine distinguished by its finesse and great elegance. Its floral notes and red berry aromas give it immediate charm, while maintaining exceptional aging potential.

Le Bourg: From very old vines planted on predominantly limestone terroir, this wine is more powerful, with ripe fruit aromas and a dense texture. Thanks to careful vinification and long aging, Le Bourg reveals impressive complexity and requires several years of cellaring to reach its peak.

Brézé: The emblematic cuvée of the estate's white wines, Brézé is a Chenin Blanc from exceptional limestone terroir. This wine, characterized by its minerality and salinity, offers unique aromatic richness with exotic notes. Its structure and smoothness make it a wine of great personality.

Clos Rougeard produces wines that age magnificently over time. Among the recent vintages to discover: 2019, 2018, 2017, 2015, 2010, 2009, 2005, 2002, 1996, 1995, 1990, 1989…

The Loire Valley is a wine region of invaluable richness, renowned for the diversity and quality of its wines. Besides Clos Rougeard, several other estates in the Saumur and Saumur-Champigny region deserve the attention of fine wine enthusiasts, such as Didier Dagueneau, Stéphane Bernaudeau, Richard Leroy, and François Cotat.

Each of these estates perpetuates a winemaking tradition rooted in history and respect for local terroirs, offering unique wines representative of the expression of Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc in this part of the Loire.

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