Collection: Clos Rougeard

Clos Rougeard is among the most revered names in the Loire Valley, a benchmark for Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc that has achieved near-mythical status among wine lovers worldwide. Based in Saumur, the domaine traces its roots back centuries, with vineyards that have been farmed organically long before it became fashionable.

The estate is best known for its meticulous viticulture and uncompromising winemaking approach. Yields are kept extremely low, ensuring concentration and purity of fruit, while the wines undergo long, slow élevage in barrel—often extending well beyond two years. This patient, precise craftsmanship results in wines of extraordinary finesse, depth, and longevity.

From the limestone-rich vineyards of Saumur-Champigny and Brézé, Clos Rougeard produces Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc of unrivalled texture and complexity. The reds balance ethereal aromatics with deep, savoury structure, while the white is revered for its crystalline minerality and ability to age gracefully for decades.

Clos Rougeard is not simply a domaine—it is a symbol of what Loire wine can achieve at its pinnacle: rare, sought-after, and profoundly expressive of its terroir.
