"The style of the 'small' cuvée is evolving towards a deliciousness where the tannins of Cabernet Franc are asked to fall into line. The result is a thirst-quenching wine that is easy to drink but tells a real story." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2014). A very aromatic and delicious red, as delicious as you could wish for!

Rated estate (2013 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Five years ago, Pierre and Bertrand Couly established a vineyard on the hillsides and plateau of Chinon. They expanded its size (now 17 hectares) and in 2010, they built a state-of-the-art winery on the road to Tours, which is open to visitors. The 2009 vintage did not benefit from this, but it is nonetheless very successful. Its intense, deep color with violet highlights, its subtle nose, which releases aromas of blackcurrant when aerated, and its beautiful structure with dense, firm tannins and a severe finish, indicate a wine for aging that will need to be left for three to five years before being served with roasted or stewed red meat.
