2015 Charles Joguet Chinon Clos de Chene Vert 750Ml Bottle

The Clos du Chêne Vert is one of the mythical places of Chinon, located in the city itself, at the Haute Olive, on the right bank of the Vienne river. The very steep slope of this clos of two small hectares, its south-west orientation and its clay and silico-calcareous soil explain why it is one of the oldest crus of the whole appellation. The place owes its name to the monumental holm oak overhanging it, growing back from a tree more than eight hundred years old planted by the monks of the Abbey of Bourgueil in the 12th century.
