Tasting Notes

Aroma

Very fresh aromas.

Maturation

Aged for 6 months in French oak barrels.

Palate

Elegant structure, supple tannins and a beautiful liveliness.

Vinification

Cold skin maceration for 5 days. Vatting lasts more than 15 days at temperatures of 24° to 26°C. Free run wines are blended with press wines if they are of good quality, as soon as the alcoholic fermentation is over. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels of 3-4 wines.

Cellaring Potential

Semi-keeping wine.

Region Notes

Domaine Charles Joguet’s vineyard covers 35 ha in A.O.C. Chinon, planted to Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc. The vineyards reflect the rich diversity of the terroirs, from the gravelly terrace offering light and perfumed wines to the clay-calcereous slopes offering long keeping wines. Each plot produces small yields.

    Heady scents of ripe, red plum, currants, fig and salami with dried herbs and white pepper. Sloshes into the palate nicely, liquorice, some dried herb and sweet berry fruits with a bit of dark chocolate, ferrous character and a clean, bright finish with ultra fine, succulent tannin in tow. Feels well balanced, elegant, in a groove. Very nicely done, a bit fuller figured in personality. Points: 93/100
