"An extremely elegant vintage"

This signature cuvée is the pride of the estate, crafted from this unique Clos, sourced from a special selection of grapes. As the estate’s only cuvée aged in barrels, this dense and concentrated wine, with its superb deep garnet color, is highly expressive on both the nose and the palate. With ripe black fruits, spices, and chocolate notes supported by an elegant tannic structure, this is undeniably a celebratory cuvée. It will be ready to enjoy with a spiced rack of lamb.

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Arnaud, who has been at the helm for several vintages now, is now solely in charge. The Clos-de-l’Olive and the Clos-de-l’Écho—the winery’s two flagship wines—are age-worthy wines that best express their terroir: the former with depth, and the latter with power. Don’t overlook the “simple” René-Couly Chinon, a delightful source of immediate pleasure.

Rated estate (2026 guide): 2* Stars (Remarkable wine)

About the estate:

The Couly-Dutheil estate was founded in 1921 by Baptiste Dutheil; today it is run by Jacques Couly-Dutheil and his son Arnaud. With vineyards spanning nearly 94 hectares—including the prestigious Clos de l’Écho and Clos de l’Olive—a modern winery carved 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.
