Clos Rougeard Saumur-Champigny Rouge Les Clos 2016

Country: France

Region: Loire

Type: White Wine

Grape: Cabernet Franc

The miniscule amounts of Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc that the Foucault brothers make in Saumur-Champigny are among the most rare and sought after bottles in France and now the U.S.

Les Clos comes from 50-to-70-year-old vines in the villages of Chacé, Varrains and Dampierre. Deep and elegantly textured, with aromas of violets, black cherry and black olive. Energetic and juicy on the palate, with red berry and dark fruit notes, and supple tannins. Fresh, cool, with amazing definition and length.
