This is a pleasant Chinon with plenty of character. Beautiful aromas of juicy red and black berries express themselves against a background of spices. The ripe tannins give a fine structure, softened by light barrel ageing. A gourmet, full-bodied wine not to be missed!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
For Anne-Charlotte Genet, the quest for perfectly harmonious, uncluttered tannins is the guarantee of wines capable of being good young and good old. The result is seductive wines that embody charm, complexity, sensuality and great refinement. With a rare intelligence in her understanding of vines and wine, this is Chinon at its very best.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
Founded in 1957 by Charles Joguet in Sazilly, on the left bank of the Vienne, this estate has returned to the top of the Chinon appellation. It's a kind of consecration for the team in charge of vinification and the vines, chosen by owner Jacques Genet. They work to a high level of excellence, given the size of the estate. Above all, the winemakers have revived a vibrant spirit of freshness in the great Cabernets, which have the originality of being born facing north-east. Few estates in the Loire region boast such unmissable grands cuvées: Clos de la Dioterie (2 hectares of octogenarian vines on clay-limestone soils, with northeast exposure, in Sazilly), Clos du Chêne Vert (2 hectares in the town of Chinon), Les Varennes du Grand Clos (4.5 hectares in Sazilly). Since their arrival in 2006, Anne-Charlotte Genet and Kévin Fontaine have never ceased to refine the expression of their cuvées. After a few excesses of ageing, they have now reached a level of refinement and depth that places them among the Loire's greatest reds. The 2020s and 2019s speak for themselves.
