Merchant's description

Clos Rougeard Saumur-Champigny 2018 is a full-bodied red wine produced from Cabernet Franc grapes in the Saumur-Champigny appellation of the Loire Valley, France. Clos Rougeard is one of the most legendary producers in the Loire Valley and their wines are incredibly highly sought after. The Foucault brothers are the eight generation to run the estate and the incomparable quality of the wines is largely due to uncompromising viticultural standards and minimal intervention winemaking.
