Clos Rougeard - Breze 2016
Le Clos Rougeard is located in Chacé, in the Saumur-Champigny appellation in the Loire . The “ Foucault brothers ”, Charly (Jean-Louis, who died in 2015) and Nady (Bernard), embodied the last of the eight generations of the family. They were pioneers of organic farming right from the start, refusing to give in to the sirens of synthetic products and thus gradually inspiring other winegrowers. Since 2017, the Bouygues family has owned this impenetrable estate and these legendary wines, real gems located in Saumur-Champigny. Today, the estate finds its balance thanks to Richard, the vine enthusiast, and Jacques-Antoine, the wine craftsman. A duo who, with the team, work to perpetuate the excellence and uniqueness of wines whose depth, finesse and precision are unrivalled. Its 11-hectare vineyard, spread over 20 plots, extends mainly over clay and limestone soils. At the heart of this terroir, so respectful of its microfauna and its microflora, the purest grapes are expressed. Evidenced by the quality of its very old vines, some a hundred years old, which have never seen the slightest chemical product. At Clos Rougeard, the wines evolve and mature over time. The excellence, finesse and depth of these wines are provided by aging for more than two years in barrels and aging at maturity for several years in the heart of the tufa cellars, seven meters deep.
Breze is probably the best known white wine from the Saumur region. This cuvée comes from a plot of Chenin Blanc of 1.5 hectares, on the terroir of Limestone Grand Cru from Brézé . The 2014 vintage is the current vintage of the Foucault brothers. It offers a excellent aging potential and will reveal all its complexity for the next 20 years.
Grape variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
