A benchmark expression of Cabernet Franc, the 2010 Clos Rougeard Saumur-Champigny reflects the pedigree of this revered Loire estate. Sourced from old vines rooted in the region’s tuffeau limestone soils, it offers a wine of depth and precision, balancing richness with striking elegance. Aromas of black cherry, crushed raspberry, and graphite unfold alongside hints of dried herbs, tobacco leaf, and a touch of smoky earth. The palate is structured yet refined, with silky tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish. Originally run by the Foucault brothers, Charly and Nady, Clos Rougeard’s meticulous organic practices and low-intervention winemaking have long set it apart, making this vintage a testament to their legacy.
