Hailing from the historic Saumur region of France’s Loire Valley, Clos Rougeard is an estate of legendary proportions, long revered for setting the absolute benchmark for Cabernet Franc. Decades before organic and biodynamic practices became modern trends, the Foucault family quietly preserved ancestral farming methods, treating their vineyards with a site-specific intensity usually reserved for Grand Cru Burgundy. For the serious collector, securing a bottle from this iconic estate is a definitive milestone. Because our annual allocation of this newly arrived 2020 vintage is strictly limited to just a handful of bottles, this represents a rare window to acquire a pristine cellar cornerstone where global demand perpetually outstrips supply.

"Le Bourg" represents the absolute pinnacle of power, structure, and longevity at the estate. Sourced from monumental old vines reaching up to 80 years of age, the vineyard features an incredibly thin, shallow clay topsoil sitting directly on hard, rocky limestone, forcing the roots to struggle and yield tiny, highly concentrated berries. Aged for up to two years exclusively in 100% new oak barrels, the 2020 is a muscular, tightly wound masterpiece. Deeply concentrated with dark fruit, smoky minerals, and an uncompromising tannic architecture, this legendary bottling is built specifically for the long haul and will reward 20 to 40 years of cellaring.
