The only white wine produced by Clos Rougeard is obtained from very old vines of Chenin Blanc (80 years old), coming from the vineyard adjacent to the village of Brézé, located south of the famous Castle. The wine is aged in 25% new tonneaux for over 24 months.

All the nobility of the Loire, the cradle of French viticulture, therefore finds itself in this discreet estate of the Foucault family, located in the village of Chacé, between Tours and Angers. The great strength of this estate of just 10 hectares is that it has never followed the trend and so with clayey-limestone soils that have never known the slightest drop of herbicide or the slightest chemical fertilizer, the wines of Clos Rougeard express a minerality and a rare complexity, giving real meaning to the concept of terroir. Yields have always been less than 40 hectoliters per hectare, or about 6 clusters per foot of vineyard. The other specificity of Clos Rougeard is that it has perpetuated the tradition of the localities, or of the "climat". Each of these individual terroirs gives a unique and particular wine that is grown separately, such as this Cabernet franc in purity.

Three Senses
Clos Rougeard's Saumur Breze white is a wine that strikes straight to the heart. A classy wine with unique power qualities, recalling dried fruit and butter, a creme brulé closed in the finish by a saline touch.

Clos Rougeard

The Foucault pendulum marks the times of another era. That's where the rhythm of wine was not always dictated by the market, where the bottles came out of the cellar when the "vigneron" estimated the end of refinement: 18, 24, 30 months ... Charly and Nady know when their - Champigny's reds Bréze's white - are ready, they rarely come out of their cellar. When the year allows, the reds are divided around three cuvée, two of which come from specific vineyards: "Les Poyeux", generous and ripe but tighter in Tannins of "Le Bourg", sleek and elegant. Both have a life, a natural breath, an altruism that makes them neighbors, friendly in youth, and they give rise to an unknown shiver. "Le Bourg" confirms its mythical status for wealth, for the embroidery of an elegant wood, for the fineness of tannins, exceptional. At the top with the immortals
