Charles Joguet Chinon Rose
Vintage: | 2023 |
---|---|
Description: | Charles Joguet left his life as an artist and sculptor to take over his family's domain in 1957. Until then, all the grapes were sold to negociants; Charles ended this practice, and dedicated himself to producing single vineyard bottlings from what he knew would be considered premier cru and grand cru vineyards in other regions. He made a name for himself and became one of the most highly regarded producers in the region. Today Kevin Fontaine is the producer, closely following Charles' path and philosophies. He still vinifies plots separately, and farming is organic. This rosĂŠ is 100% Cabernet Franc from roughly 30 year-old vines planted on sandy soil. It's fermented in stainless steel and does not undergo malolactic fermentation, in order to retain the freshness of the fruit. It just came in, and we haven't even tasted it yet, so we'll open it up together and see what it's got! |
