Clos Rougeard Saumur Brezé 2018

Country: France

Region: Loire

Type: White Wine

Grape: Chenin Blanc

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.

Entirely Chenin Blanc from the famed Breze, this rare white of Clos Rougeard comes from 60+ year old vines, some of the oldest in the entire region. Fermented in concrete with native yeasts, the Breze is aged in 20% new barrique for 18-24 months, and is concentrated in its minerality and yellow fruit flavors. A stunning wine with enormous aging potential.
