Les Varennes Du Grand Clos

2014 Chinon, Loire Cabernet Franc

The Charles Joguet Les Varennes Du Grand Clos 2014 is a stunning expression of Cabernet Franc from the renowned Chinon region in the Loire Valley. This red wine showcases a medium body that elegantly balances the vibrant acidity, creating a refreshing mouthfeel that invites you back for another sip. Its fruit intensity is quite pronounced, highlighting notes of ripe red berries, blackcurrant, and subtle hints of bell pepper, typical of the varietal. The tannins are notable yet well-integrated, providing structure without overpowering the delicate fruit flavors. This wine is dry, allowing the purity of its character to shine through. With its complex profile and food-friendly nature, it pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, making it a delightful choice for any occasion.
