The Cuvée Terroir from Domaine Charles Joguet, a true gem from Chinon, captures the poetry of cabernet franc. Sourced from century-old vines planted on a clay-limestone terroir, this red wine showcases a deep, vibrant cherry hue. The nose offers hints of bell pepper and red fruits, while the palate, marked by its minerality and elegance, delivers a symphony of subtle flavors, embodying the soul of the great Loire wines.
Made entirely from cabernet franc, this Chinon thrives on an exceptional terroir that combines clay-limestone and silica, with a northeast exposure. This combination imparts a distinctive minerality and freshness that shine through from the very first sip. The vines, at least 40 years old, are cultivated with meticulous care, yielding low harvests to ensure optimal concentration of flavors. After a five-day cold maceration and a four-week fermentation, the wine takes its time to refine. Aging in oak barrels for 15 to 16 months allows it to develop its finesse and elegance, while still honoring the characteristics of the grape and the terroir.
This Chinon is a wine meant for long aging, with the potential to reveal new nuances as it evolves in the cellar. Its deep, shiny cherry robe invites you to taste, while its nose of bell pepper and red fruits speaks of great freshness. On the palate, its distinct minerality, light bitterness, and fine tannins will delight those who appreciate elegant, structured wines. This wine embodies the finesse of Domaine Charles Joguet, promising an unforgettable tasting experience.
