Frivolous and charming, this wine will be your best companion for a convivial meal. An aromatic rosé with redcurrant and citrus aromas, fleshy and slightly spicy on the palate.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Arnaud, who has already been in charge for several vintages, is now alone at the helm. The clos-de-l'olive and clos-de-l'écho, the two peaks of the cellar, are wines for laying down that best express their terroir, with depth in the case of the former and power in the case of the latter. Don't overlook the "simple" chinon rené-couly, a great moment of immediate pleasure.
Guide Hachette des vins
Estate rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (Outstanding wine)
About the domain :
Couly-Dutheil was founded in 1921 by Baptiste Dutheil, and is now run by Jacques Couly-Dutheil and his son Arnaud. With almost 94 hectares of vineyards, including the prestigious Clos de l'Écho and Clos de l'Olive, a modern cellar built into the rock and impressive 10th-century cellars beneath the Château de Chinon, it is an integral part of the Chinon winegrowing landscape. A benchmark not to be missed.
