A heritage of the Bertrand Couly family since the 15th century, the vines of Saint Louans are at the origin of this cuvée of red Chinon. Beautiful aromatic persistence for this 100% Cabernet Franc that expresses elegant red fruit aromas.

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".
