Charles Joguet 2009 Clos de la Dioterie Cabernet Franc (Chinon)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
A beautiful wine, from a cool northeast-facing vineyard, this is rich, ripe and smoothly concentrated. It has ripeness, power, while retaining elegance. Expect to age this for six and more years.

Charles Joguet 2009 Clos du Chêne Vert Cabernet Franc (Chinon)
- Online Exclusive
This is firmly, tannic, the product of oak cask fermentation as well as aging. The tannins promise long aging, while the ripe black jelly fruit character brings out the richness of the vintage.

Charles Joguet 2004 Clos du Chêne Vert Cabernet Franc (Chinon)
- $37
Jacques Genet, at the head of the Charles Joguet domaine since its eponymous founder retired, can make magnificent Chinon, as this example demonstrates. This is a great, dense and elegant wine. It has an impressive structure, allied to those great red Loire fruit flavors, along with a smoky aftertaste.

Charles Joguet 2004 Clos de la Dioterie Cabernet Franc (Chinon)
- Editors' Choice
- $37
One of the top wines from Charles Joguet, this is in the style that has made the reputation of this estate. It is beautifully perfumed, a rich, sweet, densely textured wine that revels in its black fruits, polished by aging in older wood barrels. At the end, the dryness promises several years aging.

Charles Joguet 2009 Les Varennes du Grand Clos Cabernet Franc (Chinon)
- Online Exclusive
This is a lovely, ripe wine, its plum character very evident. It has a cool character as well, the acidity pushing through. Aged in wood (not new), the wine has a polished feel on the finish.

Charles Joguet 2005 Les Varennes du Grand Clos Cabernet Franc (Chinon)
- $29
Only just in bottle, this wine needs time—Jacques Genet, the owner, suggest another 9–10 years, but 4–5 would be nearer the mark. A serious wine, as always with this cuvée from Joguet: dense, spicy, black currant flavored, with toast flavors showing to finish.

Charles Joguet 2009 Cuvée de la Cure Cabernet Franc (Chinon)
- Online Exclusive
Smooth fruit, the tannins softened by wood aging. That gives some richness as well as a chunky, ripe character of red plums, licorice and final acidity.
