Charles Joguet Chinon Les Varennes du Grand Clos is a red wine from the legendary Loire Valley estate Charles Joguet. The 2005 vintage comes from a plot on the left bank of the Vienne river, where the soil is composed of silicified limestone and clay. This site typically yields a more precocious and floral expression than the estate`s heavier clay parcels. Joguet utilised traditional fermentation techniques followed by 15 months of ageing in used oak. The 2005 season provided exceptional ripeness and density, resulting in a wine with supple tannins and layers of blackcurrant, violet and a distinct flinty minerality.
