Domaine Charles Joguet – Exceptional Wines from the Chinon Terroir

Founded in 1957 in Sazilly, at the heart of the Chinon appellation, Domaine Charles Joguet is a benchmark in the Loire Valley. A true visionary, Charles Joguet changed the history of the appellation by showcasing the remarkable potential of Cabernet Franc, the region’s signature grape.

Today the vineyard spans about 35 hectares across a mosaic of terroirs, from gravel soils to limestone-clay slopes. This diversity allows the domaine to craft a wide range of wines, from supple and fruit-driven cuvées to deeper, more structured expressions with outstanding ageing capacity.

In recent years, the estate has embraced certified organic viticulture, with an environmentally respectful approach that preserves soil balance. In the cellar, winemaking is precise and careful, focusing on fruit purity and terroir expression. Each parcel is vinified separately, allowing the singular character of each plot to shine through.

The wines of Domaine Charles Joguet stand out for their freshness, aromatic finesse and remarkable ability to age. Whether approachable in their youth or profound after years of cellaring, they embody the timeless elegance of Chinon’s Cabernet Franc.

To discover Domaine Charles Joguet is to enter the world of a historic Loire estate that masterfully combines tradition and modernity to produce authentic and refined wines.
