The estate and the wine |
|
|
Recognized for its extraordinary quality vintage after vintage, the Domaine Couly-Dutheil is at the forefront of the Chinon appellation. It owes part of its reputation to the two greatest terroirs of Chinon: Clos de l’Olive and Clos de l’Echo. The estate’s classical wines are the perfect example of what makes Cabernet Franc such a powerhouse when the winemaking is up to par with its complex style. |

A Selection Committee Favorite rated 94/100, the 2018 Red Chinon Clos de l’Echo is a promising and extremely fresh wine. With its natural class, its notes of graphite and blackfruit, it has the nobility of the great wines of the region. The pure and delicate palate is generous, with smooth tannins and a nice persistent finish. A model Chinon wine that you must try at least once! |
