Charles Joguet Cuvée Terroir

Loire Valley reds, based primarily on the Cabernet Franc grape, are often criticized as being too "green" or "vegetal," bearing distinct aromas and flavors of green bell pepper and herbs. While the Joguet Cuvée Terroir does stay true to its variety, its mild herbaceousness is kept in perfect balance by the abundance of sleek blackberry fruit that takes center stage here. Mineral undertones and a gorgeous sense of purity make this Chinon a super sexy standout.

• Broiled lamb chops with panko, rosemary, and thyme crust
• Country pâté with toasted baguette
• Aged nutty cheeses such as Pleasant Ridge, Parmigiano Reggiano, and Comte
