  5. 2016 Clos Rougeard, Saumur-Champigny, Les Poyeux
Clos Rougeuard is the ultimate cult winery in the Loire Valley. For eight generations, the sleepy estate has produced wine in extremely low quantities while upholding centuries of winemaking tradition. All the fruit goes through barrel fermentation, cold barrel aging, and bottling without filtration. This meticulous process ensures the most exceptional wine possible. The immaculate quality even inspired legendary winemaker Charles Joguet to say, "There are two suns. One shines outside for everybody. The second shines in the Foucaults' cellar."
 
The 2016 Clos Rougeard Saumur-Champigny Les Poyeux comes from 50-year-old vines on a south-facing plot in Chacé. The sandstone and limestone contribute to a chalk quality that runs parallel to the sparkling acids and intense woody qualities. With a reputation for purity and built-to-age structure, this cabernet franc makes for an ideal cellar candidate.
 
The Final Sip: 2016 Clos Rougeard Saumur-Champigny Les Poyeux stands out as a high watermark for the burgeoning talent of the Loire Valley.
