Charles Joguet was a young painter and sculptor who abandoned an art career in 1957 to take over his family domaine, revolutionizing Chinon by pioneering single-vineyard bottlings when selling to negociants was the norm. After four decades, he sold to the Genet family in 1997; Kevin Fontaine now leads winemaking with organic certification since 2016 and biodynamic practices. Clos de la Dioterie is their flagship—a 2-hectare clos in Sazilly documented since at least 1830, with vines up to 85 years old on tuffeau limestone and cooler northern exposure for slow ripening. Indigenous yeast, minimal sulfur, bottled by lunar calendar. The domaine's most powerful expression with exceptional aging potential. For braised lamb or aged hard cheeses.

"The 2019 Clos de la Dioterie is a sophisticated, seductively perfumed style—brooding yet aromatic. Its concentrated flavors are pure; it remains light and elegant, with a delectable, chalky, veil-like texture residing on your tongue as the finish draws out with precision, sinew and line. This is a fine, texturally intriguing wine." -Rebecca Gibb MW
