Domaine Clos Rougeard – Exceptional Wines from the Loire, Saumur-Champigny

Located in Chacé, at the heart of the Loire Valley, Domaine Clos Rougeard is a true legend for fine wine lovers. Founded in the 17th century and brought to international fame by brothers Charly and Nady Foucault, it has become the ultimate reference for the purest expression of Cabernet Franc.

The vineyard covers about 11 hectares across exceptional terroirs in Saumur-Champigny and Saumur blanc. Clay-limestone soils and tuffeau contribute finesse and complexity, further enhanced by deliberately low yields.

The domaine’s philosophy is based on rigorous, nature-respectful viticulture and patient, precise winemaking. Long ageing in oak barrels gives the wines impressive depth and longevity while preserving the freshness and elegance of the grape variety.

Clos Rougeard reds are renowned for their aromatic intensity, silky texture and remarkable balance between power and delicacy. Iconic cuvées such as Le Clos, Les Poyeux and Le Bourg are among the most sought-after in the world. The whites, rare and highly confidential, showcase outstanding tension and minerality.

Celebrated by international critics and treasured by collectors, the wines of Domaine Clos Rougeard embody the very best of the Loire Valley and remain one of the purest expressions of Cabernet Franc.
