Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more conventional and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Arnaud, who has been at the helm for several vintages now, is now in sole 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 through depth and the latter through power. Don’t overlook the “simple” René-Couly Chinon, a delightful wine offering immediate pleasure.

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 16th-century cellars located beneath the Château de Chinon, it is an integral part of the Chinon wine region’s landscape. An essential reference.
