2019 Chateau de Coulaine Chinon Rouge $25 bottle
Chateau de Coulaine is a family-owned estate rich in viticultural tradition which has been operating continuously since 1300!
Since 1988, Etienne de Bonnaventure has assumed all viticulture and winemaking responsibilities and has grown the estate to its current 12 hectares, all situated on Chinon's plateaux. Planted to 100% Cabernet Franc, vineyards are organically farmed, all grapes are hand-harvested and vinification follows a non-interventionalist path. Coulaine's low yields (around 35 hl/ha) result in a deeply concentrated, savory and succulent expression of Cabernet Franc with ripe and polished tannins - a harmonious balance between the traditional and modern worlds. |
