| Description: | Clos Rougeard was established in the 17th century, on the lands of Chac, a village not far from Saumur. Since 2017, the Bouygues family has owned this mysterious estate and its legendary wines, true jewels of the Saumur-Champigny appellation. Today, the estate has found new balance thanks to Richard, a passionate winegrower, and Jacques-Antoine, a craftsman of fine wines. They both work with the team to perpetuate the excellence and uniqueness of wines with unparalleled depth, finesse and precision. The 11-hectare vineyard, spread over 20 plots, lies mainly on clay and limestone soil. At the heart of this eco-friendly terroir with its abundant microfauna and microflora grow the purest grapes, produced organically for eight generations. The quality of the estates very old vines bears testimony to this: some of them are a hundred years old, and have never received chemical inputs. The Saumur-Champigny is crafted from a blend of grapes from several clay and limestone plots, and some that are sandier. This wine typically preserves the crisp fruitiness of the Cabernet Franc with hints of floral notes. |
