Charles Joguet 2010 Clos de la Dioterie (Chinon)

Country: France / Clos de la Dioterie
Variety: Cabernet Franc Loire Valley
Winery: Charles Joguet / Chinon

With vineyards on the south bank of the Vienne river, facing Chinon, the Charles Joguet style is firm and tannic, with a need for aging. This wine is proof, big, structured, very firm and concentrated. Tannins dominate now, but the fruit is all there, a panoply of ripe blackberries, impressively rich and succulent. Age this wine for five years and more.
