    Clos Rougeard is a cult winery located in Saumur-Champigny that has been in the family for generations. The brothers Nadi and Charlie Foucault tend to the exceptional vineyards with small harvests and vinify the wines in barrel with minimal intervention. The rare Chenin Blancs produced here have been described as the "quintessence of Chenin" and the wines are considered some of the top in France, though they are exceptionally expensive and often sold out.

    Just our luck. We have a cult estate. Every three-star restaurant in France hustles to get a small
    allocation. No one in America, outside of the lucky few, has heard of it (ed note: this was written
    at a time when that was actually true!)

    This estate has been in the family for several generations. Basically, the Foucault brothers (Nadi and
    Charlie) tend exceptional vineyards, harvest at small yields, vinify in barrel, let the wines bubble for
    a couple of years in a glacially cold cellar and bottle without filtration.

    And what you get is the some of the top red wines of the Loire Valley and in the very top of France
    as a whole. Charles Joguet, the great winemaker of Chinon, once said: "there are two suns. One
    shines outside for everybody. The second shines in the Foucaults' cellar."
    The rare Chenin Blanc from their vineyards (sometimes sec, sometines demi-sec or even moëlleux)
    has been described by Michel Bettane as "the quintessence of Chenin". Bettane has tasted the 1921
    and listed it as one of the most memorable wines of his life.
    So have we.

    Would you like to buy some? It is exceptionally expensive.

    And it is sold out.
