"René Couly 2020 is round and ripe, with a tannic richness that intensifies on the finish and coats the palate. It is full-bodied, with plenty of substance, suggesting low yields. Black fruits are accompanied by spicy and herbaceous notes in an intense finish. It can be enjoyed now with hearty dishes, but will continue to develop over the next decade thanks to its concentration and tannic structure." (Vinous)

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Arnaud, who has already been in charge for several vintages, is now alone at the helm. The clos-de-l'olive and clos-de-l'écho, the two peaks of the cellar, are wines for laying down that best reflect their terroir, with the former offering depth and the latter power. Don't overlook the "simple" chinon rené-couly, a great moment of immediate pleasure.
Guide Hachette des vins
Estate rated (guide 2026) 2*Stars (Outstanding wine)
About the domain :
Couly-Dutheil was founded in 1921 by Baptiste Dutheil, and is now run by Jacques Couly-Dutheil and his son Arnaud. With almost 94 hectares of vineyards, including the prestigious Clos de l'Écho and Clos de l'Olive, a modern cellar built into the rock and impressive 10th-century cellars beneath the Château de Chinon, it is an integral part of the Chinon winegrowing landscape. A benchmark not to be missed.
