The estate's latest creation, the Blanc de Franc cuvée is made from a red grape variety (Cabernet Franc). A white wine that opens harmoniously with floral aromas, particularly white rose, and fruity notes of red berries. A full-bodied, supple wine, full of freshness. Perfect as an aperitif with tapas... Unique in the world and very original!

Bettane & Desseauve
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.
Guide Hachette des vins
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.

A little too sour for my taste. I'll try to wait.
