Clos Rougeard’s Saumur-Champigny 2013 is a standout expression of Cabernet Franc, offering a rare combination of power, elegance, and depth. Known for its commitment to organic viticulture and low-intervention winemaking, Clos Rougeard crafts wines that transcend the typical, and this vintage is no exception.

The 2013 reveals its complexity from the first pour, with aromas of ripe dark berries, graphite, and subtle hints of violet and herbs. On the palate, it’s both structured and refined, with fine-grained tannins that provide a firm backbone without overshadowing the bright, lively fruit. The wine’s earthy undertones, reminiscent of forest floor and wet stone, deepen the experience, while its vibrant acidity keeps the overall profile fresh and focused.

As with all Clos Rougeard wines, Saumur-Champigny 2013 is a wine built for aging, with the potential to evolve beautifully over the next decade or more. It’s a wine that speaks to connoisseurs who appreciate Cabernet Franc at its finest—balanced, nuanced, and effortlessly elegant. Pair it with roasted meats, wild mushrooms, or rich French cuisine for a truly unforgettable experience.

here are some very famous wines that are extremely limited and inspire a cult like following; and then there is Clos Rougeard. The tiny amounts of Cabernet Franc and even tinier amounts of 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. What's the trick? Well it's a bit mysterious but basically they possess very old vines on special terroir. Their yields are tiny, farming is meticulous and the cellar is deep, dank and cold. Those few of us luck enough to visit can attest to layers of mold and caverns of oak barrels with various vintages slowly fermenting or resting for years before bottling. The wines are stunning. They can age probably forever. And they are extremely limited.
