I thoroughly enjoyed the 05 Joguet, but it is not for everyone to be sure. It was super funky and animalistic on the nose with some notes of tar, collard greens and cast iron. The palate is big and strapping for a Chinon with lots of fruit and rustic power. Not sure if the funkiness was brett or just Chinon (or both). Drinking well now, but I bet this improves. 92-93 pts.

Ouvert et bu sur 2 jours, sans changement notable. Superbe robe carmin foncé, sans signe d’âge. Nez classique mais encore assez retenu sur les poivrons, la cerise noire et le cacao. Puissant en bouche, concentré, équilibré, l’élevage est bien intégré. La finale est serrée et longue. Je pense qu’il lui faut encore quelques années en cave pour se livrer davantage mais c’est un vin excellent. 93-94+

Massive wine, dark fruit, leather, a bit drying. Less good compared to the Alliet Coteau de Noiré of the same year.

Black fruit, leather and soil, a massive wine, which is ready for business.
