Clos Rougeard is the Loire's great cult estate, founded in 1664 on the land of Chace just outside Saumur and passed down through eight generations, most famously to the Foucault brothers. Its pure Cabernet Franc reds are held up as the benchmark for what the variety can achieve anywhere in the world.
Le Clos is the estate's foundation wine, drawn from around ten small parcels spread across three communes, roughly four and a half hectares in total. The blend brings together clay and limestone plots along with sandier ground on a gently sloping hill, a combination of clays and free draining wind blown sands that suits Cabernet Franc particularly well.
Fermentation runs on native yeasts, with a long four to six week maceration in open top cement vats and deliberately gentle extraction, followed by eighteen to twenty four months in small barrels, all of them neutral so nothing sits between the fruit and the site. The result is a red of graphite, red currant, violet and crushed herb, with silky tannins, real tension and a savoury, stony finish.
