Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2014 guide) 16.5/20 (Reference wine)
About the wine:
A great, pretty wine, delicate in texture, charming and sensual. The fresh finish gives it added refinement.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (2013 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
"Five years ago, Pierre and Bertrand Couly set up a vineyard on the hillsides and plateau of Chinon. In 2010, they built a state-of-the-art winery on the road to Tours, which is open to the public. This 2009 hasn't benefited from it, but it's a great success nonetheless. Its intense, sustained color with violet highlights, its discreet nose, which releases blackcurrant aromas with aeration, and its fine structure with dense, firm, harsh tannins on the finish, all point to a wine for laying down that should be kept for three to five years before being served with roasted or stewed red meat".

Not very pleasant to open, needs a lot of air to reveal itself.

Good chinon where the cabernet franc is well worked, young wine on the fruit still . to wait a little and to open an hour before in my opinion.
