BACKGROUND
Clos Rougeard is a legendary estate in the Saumur-Champigny appellation of the Loire Valley, historically run by the Foucault brothers. The domaine is widely considered the benchmark for Cabernet Franc, producing wines of unparalleled elegance, complexity, and longevity. They were pioneers of organic farming and traditional winemaking, including long aging in oak barrels. Le Bourg, sourced from a single vineyard of old vines, is their most prestigious and sought-after cuvee.
