The estate and the wine |
|
|
Recognized for its extraordinary quality vintage after vintage, the Domaine Couly-Dutheil is at the forefront of the Chinon appellation. It owes part of its reputation to the two greatest terroirs of Chinon: Clos de l’Olive and Clos de l’Echo. The estate’s classical wines are the perfect example of what makes Cabernet Franc such a powerhouse when the winemaking is up to par with its complex style. |
|
|
| |
|
Deep and intense, the 2018 Red Les Gravières Chinon expresses the beautiful aromas of perfectly ripe Cabernet Franc grapes; notes of graphite, red fruit and black olive mingle with a beautiful freshness and crunchy tannins. This is a very high-level wine, a dense and full-bodied bottle that remains fresh and elegant throughout. A Selection Committee Favorite rated 93/100. |
