Personalised Charles Joguet Les Petites Roches Chinon Rouge 2022 14% 750ml

VINES

This cuve is the result of a blend of different plots of land located on the left bank of the Vienne river, all with the same soil profile.

The cuve Les Petites Roches, with its predominantly clayey and moderately chalky slopes and plateaus, offers wines with red fruit aromas and a nice mineral structure, to be enjoyed within five years of the vintage.

VINIFICATION

This cuve actually corresponds to our old Jeunes Vignes cuve, renamed to evoke the gravelly soils of the Vienne valley and their calcareous mother rock and to take into account the ageing and ripening of these vines.

Here, the vinification method is similar to that of the Cuve Terroir but the selected vines give us greater density and complexity. We use free-run wine (natural flow of the juice after alcoholic fermentation), which gives this cuve more purity and finesse. The press wine (passage of the marc in the press) is blended with the Cuve Terroir. Only high quality press wines may, exceptionally, be included in the blend of this cuve.

All these qualities give the cuve Les Petites Roches an ageing potential of a few years.
