Clos Rougeard, Saumur-Champigny 2010
This exceptional cult domaine run by brothers Nadi and Charlie Foucault was "found" by the late Louis Dressner, who had a knack for finding incredible producers. Small yields, barrel fermentation, slow and cold barrel aging and bottling without filtration combine to create these highly sought, allocated wines. Famed Chinon winemaker Charles Joguet was once quoted as saying, "There are two suns. One shines outside for everybody. The second shines in the Foucaults' cellar." This is the winery's entry level Saumur-Champigny, but it is every bit as beautiful as any we have tasted, single vineyard or otherwise. So now you're in the know. Buy whatever you can.

This shows how elevated Cabernet Franc can get, unfortunately most Cab Franc from the Loire tends to come off a little too green and often disjointed. Clos Rougeard is just in an another level of finesse and purity, both the varietal and the terroir being elevated. The length on this wines takes you away, a little earthy notes mixed with fine berries and tobacco but dusty tannins fine and pure. At 15 years this is in a really good spot now. 6/25/2026
