Chinon "Clos de la Dioterie," Joguet

Chinon "Clos de la Dioterie," Joguet - 2019

Item # 27068 750 mL

Medium-bodied with an endlessly changing bouquet. Earthy aromas with dark berries, pink peppercorn, and tobacco mingle with red currants and wild raspberry. A solid red wine that's drinking very well today. Enjoy with venison or pork tenderloin with mustard and herbs. One of many Grand Cru-quality lieux-dits on the Joguet property. Charles has since retired (though he stops by to look things over) and his protégé, Kevin Fontaine, is now making these wines.

As diverse as Loire wines are, one day soon you'll know your Melon de Bourgogne from your Romorantin.

Cabernet Franc

Relegated to moderate obscurity in modern times, Cabernet Franc is in fact the proud parent of the attention-hogging Cabernet Sauvignon (after an illicit affair with Sauvignon Blanc a hundred-odd years ago). Cabernet Franc has remained close to its roots in France, enjoying small pockets of popularity primarily in the Loire Valley (specifically in Chinon), where it is often bottled as a varietal wine, and in Bordeaux where it is still used in moderate percentages in the typical blends.
