Charles Joguet Chinon Rosé 2023: A Refreshing Escape from France’s Loire Valley

Elevate your next gathering or outdoor adventure with this crisp and vibrant Cabernet Franc rosé from Charles Joguet’s renowned Domaine in Chinon, France. Crafted by winemaker Kevin Fontaine, this Loire Valley gem balances subtle elegance with bold fruitiness—making it a standout choice for rosé enthusiasts seeking complexity without heaviness.

Sourced from the iconic Touraine appellation in the Loire region, this wine showcases the unique potential of Cabernet Franc when handled with precision. Fontaine’s meticulous approach begins with gentle direct pressing of the grapes to capture their bright natural juices. The slow, cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks preserves a lively acidity while amplifying fresh strawberry and red berry aromas, resulting in a rosé that’s both refreshing and deeply flavorful.

Whether enjoyed poolside or paired with light summer dishes like salads, grilled vegetables, or goat cheese, this rosé delivers a seamless harmony of crispness and ripe fruit notes. Its 14% alcohol content adds depth without overwhelming the palate, offering a versatile option for sipping or dining occasions.

Ideal for picnics or casual evenings, this Charles Joguet rosé stands apart from typical Provence-style rosés thanks to its distinctive Cabernet Franc character—a hallmark of Loire Valley winemaking traditions. Fontaine’s expertise ensures each bottle captures the region’s terroir through bright acidity and lingering berry undertones that linger long after each sip.

Perfect for those who crave a rosé that’s equally at home with casual meals or refined appetizers, this 2023 vintage combines approachability with sophistication. A must-try for fans of dry French rosés or anyone looking to explore beyond mainstream options.
