Charles Joguet Les Charmes Chinon Rouge 2020 14% 750ml

Vines
Les Charmes is a selection of parcels from vines located on the Left Bank of the Vienne, on the heights of Anché, a neighbouring commune of Sazilly.
The Cabernet Franc vines are 35 years old and the terroir is clay-limestone, facing north.
Vinified in wooden vats and aged for 6 months in French oak barrels, Les Charmes offers a straight, crisp and generous fruit wine.

Vinification
This new cuvée reveals an assertive character with wines with elegant tannins and very fresh aromas.
Cold skin maceration for 5 days. Vatting lasts more than 15 days at temperatures of 24° to 26°C. Free run wines are blended with press wines if they are of good quality, as soon as the alcoholic fermentation is over.
Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels of 3-4 wines. Once this is finished, the wine continues its ageing in truncated wooden vats for 6 to 8 months, to reveal the subtle red fruit aromas of this vintage for good ageing.
