Charles Joguet Chinon Rose 2018 sku_2018582 White chocolate and mocha flavors/‘powderiness’Bright orange pink. Musky red berry, orange pith and floral scents show very good clarity and pick up a subtle herbal nuance as the wine opens up. Sappy, spicy and focused on entry, offering red currant and bitter cherry flavors that deepen and become sweeter with air. Chewy and nicely concentrated, delivering solid finishing thrust and lingering rose pastille and blood orange notes.
