Tasting Notes

Blackcurrant, cedar, graphite and earthy complexity unfold across a beautifully mature palate. Elegant and deeply expressive, this vintage demonstrates why Clos Rougeard remains one of the world's most sought-after producers.

About Clos Rougeard

Deeply rooted in the 17th century, this hallowed Chacé estate achieved legendary, near-mythical status under the visionary stewardship of the late Foucault brothers, Charly and Nady. Long before the modern organic movement took hold, Clos Rougeard served as the ultimate vanguard for natural, low-intervention viticulture, proving that Cabernet Franc could achieve the profound complexity and prestige of Burgundy's greatest crus. Tended with absolute ancestral reverence on thin, limestone-rich soils, their rare, single-vineyard masterpieces—including the iconic Les Poyeux and Le Bourg—vibrate with ethereal floral perfume, silky structural definition, and a hauntingly beautiful, majestic mineral tension.

About Loire Valley

The Loire Valley stretches across a wide sweep of France and is defined by variety, structure and strong regional identity. In the east, Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé are known for precise Sauvignon Blanc with a consistently complex and ageworthy profile. Moving west, Vouvray showcases the versatility of Chenin Blanc across dry sparkling and long-lived styles. Anjou and Saumur offer a mix of Chenin-based whites and structured reds, while Saumur-Champigny is recognised for particularly refined Cabernet Franc with real ageing potential. Further toward the coast, Chinon specialises in quality red wines, and the Nantais delivers classic Muscadet, known for its clarity and ability to pair with seafood. The Loire remains one of France’s most diverse and reliably characterful regions.
