Charles Joguet - Chinon Clos de la Dioterie Monopole 2020

"Stunning! A magnificent, concentrated and powerful Chinon from Charles Joguet "

"Always reserved in its youth, Le Clos de la Dioterie seems destined for a radiant future. The ripeness of the Cabernet, the precision of the extraction and the way it is brought to light by ageing are in perfect harmony in this racy wine, carried by a tannic framework of mad elegance. It provokes gentle, persistent salivation. Radiant! Its fullness and finesse already make it irresistibly accessible. (Le Guide RVF 2024).

Charles Joguet - Chinon Les Charmes blanc 2021

"A luminous white, for this Chenin of great purity".

"A superb white Chinon with a subtle nose of spiced apples, dried pears, white flowers and wet stones. Medium-bodied with bright acidity. Dense, concentrated and heavy. Well-balanced and harmonious, with a mineral frame in the center. Wisely structured and charming, with a long finish." (James Suckling 2023).

Charles Joguet - Chinon Les Charmes rouge 2020

"The quintessence of Cabernet Sauvignon on the terroir of Chinon".

"The Chinon Les Charmes 2020, vinified in wooden vats and aged for six months in the same type of containers, has a spicy, deep bouquet of dark wild berries, violets, licorice and rose petals, with a discreet oak influence. Medium-bodied, layered and textured, it's seamless with fine-grained tannins and a long, taut, ethereal finish framed by chalky dry extract. This vintage is a superb expression of Cabernet Franc grown on clay-limestone soils." (Wine Advocate 2024).

"Chinon blanc!"

" What a superb wine! Chinon blanc, an appellation overshadowed by the numerical dominance of reds, yet deserving of the greatest interest, as this vintage demonstrates with ease, with subtle notes of toasted hazelnut, citrus and peach resting on a mineral base. The palate is precise, remarkably lively and long-lasting. A must-try. (Le Figaro Vins)
