91/100
Decanter
"This approachable and refreshing Chenin is perfect for a fun and friendly happy hour!"
Produced from rare limestone terroirs on the hillsides of Chinon, this white wine combines rich fruitiness, crispness, and minerality. A white Chinon that dares to create a surprising harmony between roundness, liveliness, fullness, and freshness.

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 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 with depth and the latter with power. Don’t overlook the “simple” René-Couly Chinon, a delightful wine that offers 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.

Review and comment by Mr. SAMUEL S. Posted on 12/14/2025
I was very surprised by the quality of this wine—and even more so by its very reasonable price for such a top-notch wine. The nose offers notes of Granny Smith apple, flint, honey-scented flowers, and pear. And on the palate, it’s all about freshness and vibrancy—well done!
