Clos Rougeard is a renowned wine producer located in the Saumur-Champigny appellation within the Loire Valley. It is a family-owned estate, and the Foucault brothers, Charly and Nady, were instrumental in establishing its reputation. Their vineyards are meticulously tended, with an emphasis on low yields and achieving optimal ripeness. ‘Les Poyeux’ is made from a 2.9-hectare plot of 40 to 70-year-old vines, fermented and matured in seasoned oak barrels. The wines from the 2017 vintage in the Loire Valley, including Saumur-Champigny, are often praised for their vibrant fruit character, freshness, and approachability.
