The Story
Charles Joguet is the founding father of serious Chinon, the grower who mapped the appellation's terroirs into a lineup of distinct single-vineyard Cabernet Francs. Clos du Chene Vert is a steep limestone parcel that delivers an especially structured, stony style. The 2012 was a cooler, tightly wound vintage; dark and reticent in its youth, it has needed time. Now well over a decade on, it is beginning to unwind into its savory, mature window, with the freshness to keep developing.
