Clos Rougeard Saumur Champigny 'Le Clos' 2015
Vintage Character
Clos Rougeard Saumur Champigny 'Le Clos' 2015 is a red wine from Saumur Champigny, Loire Valley, made from Cabernet Franc. 2015's warm, even season produced ripe Cabernet Franc with freshness and long structure. Its identity rests on old-vine Cabernet Franc from limestone-rich Saumur soils and extremely limited allocations. low-yield farming, native fermentation and patient barrel ageing shapes the wine's texture and aromatic detail while keeping the origin clearly in view. The result is a characterful expression that combines regional typicity with a measured, food-friendly sense of balance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
In the glass, it shows red cherry, raspberry, violet and graphite. Winemaking and maturation add cedar, tobacco and savoury spice, while time brings forest floor, leather and dried flowers. The palate is medium-full-bodied with high acidity and medium-high tannins, carrying the flavours into a focused, persistent finish. Its appeal comes from definition, proportion and the clarity of its site rather than overt showmanship. Serve it with duck, veal or mushroom dishes; those dishes echo the wine's savoury detail while allowing its freshness to reset the palate.
Winery Background
Clos Rougeard is the producer, with Antoine Foucault responsible for its winemaking direction. The estate's work is grounded in the vineyards and in a cellar approach appropriate to Saumur Champigny, favouring sound fruit, controlled extraction or pressing, and élevage that supports rather than masks the raw material. For buyers, the key value is the combination of defined origin, a recognisable producer signature and a style that works at the table. The stated dry profile, high acidity and medium-full body also make the bottle easy to place in a collection or on a restaurant list. Proper storage and a suitable serving temperature will help preserve its detail, balance and length.
