Cuvée Terroir Chinon Cabernet Franc

Classic Chinon goodness. Better on night two.

Classic and old school chinon.

⚖️

Bright red fruit. Lots of lightness and finesse. Tastes like rustic Beaujolais. I like it a lot.

I love Cab Franc and this is a good one, pepper and graphite all day.

Tangy fresh Chinon. It's lying around and nice with hard cow cheese.

Bell pepper juice

Jouguet is a classic producer but this cuvée comes up a bit short. More stemmy than pyrazine-y and a bit dilute this comes across more like Gamay than good Chinon.

A little subdued for a Joguet. That being said, still has all of the cab franc character, chalky minerality, iron notes, rustic fruit and good acid.
