What happened to my `09 Joguet Chinon?

by Bob Parsons Alberta » Thu Jun 16, 2016 5:36 pm

TN: 2009 Charles Joguet Chinon Les Petites Roches

Cellared 4 yrs, 13% alc, good nat cork, decanted one hour and consumed over 2 days.

Very good color with medium ruby tones, slight bricking. Good depth of centre, medium intensity.
Pepper on the nose, bell pepper brief, warm plum, black fruits, violets on day 2.
Initial entry thought is oh so dry (some CT notes mention ripe fruit). Still tannic, obvious acidity here, "overall austere" from across the table. Black cherry, some raspberry too, sure is earthy too. Have to wonder about the condition of this `09?

Thanks for the TN, Bob. It is very useful because a local supermarket is offering this cuvée for €11 in its 2011 version. That is theoretically an inferior vintage to your 2009, which has a reputation for generous wines. IIRC I was very impressed by its Dioterie stable mate at a tasting though it was far from ready. This certainly discourages me from buying more than one experimental bottle of 2011.

It's hard to know what sort of mishandling could have that drying effect. Maybe just a rogue bottle. Les Petites Roches is not one of the Joguet range which I know.

Thanks Tim, my `09 Baudry Domaine was terrific 2 yrs ago. Not sure what went on here? Your 2011, not sure.
