"An excellent companion for all your special moments and to surprise even the most curious!"

Brut de Franc is a surprising traditional method wine made from 100% Cabernet Franc. Its floral aromas are beautifully delicate. The attack is lively and refreshing, giving way to lovely tangy notes on the palate. A harmonious cuvée that is definitely worth discovering!

Winery rated 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Arnaud, who has been in place for several vintages now, is now solely in charge. Clos-de-l'Olive and Clos-de-l'Echo, the winery's two top wines, are wines for aging that best express their terroir, with the former offering depth and the latter offering power. Don't overlook the "simple" Chinon René-Couly, a beautiful moment of immediate pleasure.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 2 stars (Outstanding wine)

About the estate:

The Couly-Dutheil winery was founded in 1921 by Baptiste Dutheil; today it is run by Jacques Couly-Dutheil and his son Arnaud. With nearly 94 hectares of vineyards, including the prestigious Clos de l'Écho and Clos de l'Olive, a modern winery built into the rock, and impressive 10th-century cellars located beneath the Château de Chinon, it is an integral part of the Chinon wine-growing landscape. An essential reference.
