The Chinon "V" is Bertrand's tribute to his youngest son, Vincent, who played an active role in the winemaking process for this wine. With its full-bodied palate and firm tannins, the Couly family is reaping the rewards of their work on this limestone terroir, which adds an extra dimension to this cuvée.

Rated estate (2013 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—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 have expanded its acreage (now 17 hectares); in 2010, they built a state-of-the-art winery on the road to Tours, which is open to visitors. This 2009 vintage did not benefit from that, but it is nonetheless very successful. Its intense, deep color with violet hues, its subtle nose that releases aromas of blackcurrant upon aeration, and its beautiful structure with dense, firm, and austere tannins on the finish all point to a wine with aging potential that should be cellared for three to five years before serving with roasted or braised red meat.”
