Nestled in the quaint village of Chacé, just a stone's throw away from the charming town of Saumur, lies the illustrious Clos Rougeard. This prestigious estate, established in 1664, has been passed down through eight generations, with the Foucault brothers being the latest custodians of its legacy.
It was in the 1980s that Charly and Nady Foucault revolutionized the winemaking philosophy of Clos Rougeard. Embracing a radical approach, the dynamic duo focused on allowing the wines to speak for themselves by leaving them undisturbed, untainted by synthetic products, and gently fermented through infusion techniques. This minimalist approach gave birth to wines that were a true reflection of their unique terroir in Saumur and Saumur-Champigny.
In 2017, the renowned Bouygues family acquired Clos Rougeard, continuing the legacy of the Foucault brothers with great reverence for the estate's DNA and identity. The passionate team at Clos Rougeard has found the perfect balance, dedicated to preserving the excellence and individuality of the wines that are unmatched in depth, finesse, and precision.
Clos Rougeard wines are a testament to the unwavering commitment and expertise of the team, resulting in a range of exquisite wines that are a true expression of the land they come from. With its rich history and unwavering dedication to quality, Clos Rougeard remains a beloved producer in the heart of France's renowned wine country.
