Charles Joguet Chinon Silenes 2017

Charles Joguet is a legend in Chinon and it is a pleasure to have secured a parcel of his Silenes with a little bottle age. The Silenes vineyard is on sandy soil and gives wines that are softer and more aromatic than their counterparts grown on limestone. Classic cabernet franc notes of pepper and graphite give freshness, spice and crispness to this plummy, supple red. A great classic with charcuterie, pork and goats cheese. This is the sort of reviving, fresh red that we could drink all day.
