About the estate:
The estate has been in the Bonnaventure family since the Middle Ages, when the vines of the historic vineyard at Château de Turpenay were first planted. In 1988, Étienne and Pascale de Bonnaventure undertook the expansion of the estate. They revived the spirit of the great wines of Beaumont, the first step of the Chinon appellation on the Loire side, where the Cabernets, under a more oceanic influence, gain delicacy and finesse of fruit compared to those from the eastern part of the appellation. Today, Château de Coulaine produces a brilliant range of organic Chinons that combine fresh fruit with elegant texture. The vintages do not obscure the expression of the terroirs: the suppleness (Beaumont clay and silica) in Château de Coulaine and the slender freshness of the clay-limestone soils in Les Picasses, the sunny density in Clos de Turpenay (south-facing), and the chalky character of La Diablesse (in its old-vine version, north-facing). In place since January 2017, Jean de Bonnaventure, the son of Étienne and Pascale, has provided new momentum to define these meticulous and precise wines while preserving a unique soul and sensibility. The faithful expression of the latest vintages deserves a second star.
