Great wine - had w Riss at Cafe Rabelais — 9 years ago
Peach and honey, viscous and a bit mushroomy in the end. A bit too much alchohol for my taste but can be balanced with the right food. Needs time to open up.
Update: Improved quite a bit on day 2. Raising from 8,7 to 9. — 10 years ago
...the wine of Chinon, of which Rabelais was a native, resembles him. This cool, clear color red has the luminous forhead of the great philosopher...Jouget's wine carries the eternally valid message of Gargunta and Pantagruel: enjoy what you are, and other too will enjoy you."

Merveilleux, splendide, une belle année, en famille en Touraine. J'aime beaucoup le petite note de Rabelais en bas de l'étiquette "Le jus de la vigne clarifie l'esprit, chasse la tristesse, donne joie et liesse" (je confirme) — 9 years ago
