Chacé (Saumur-Champigny)
Clos Rougeard
The estate that proved Cabernet Franc can be world-class.
Founded family estate; modern era from the 1970sSignature · Saumur-Champigny "Le Bourg"
Run for decades by the near-mythical Foucault brothers, Charly and Nady, Clos Rougeard makes profound, age-worthy Cabernet Franc in Saumur-Champigny from old vines aged in oak.
It showed the world that Loire Cabernet Franc could stand beside great Bordeaux; its bottles now fetch first-growth prices.
