What are the grape varieties and appellation of Clos Rougeard?
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.
