This Chinon has a pale gold and crystalline robe, intense nose, frank, fresh and very aromatic with floral, mineral and citrus notes. Fruity, delicate, tender and rich palate. Pleasantly fruity when young - superb from 2-3 years old.

Couly-Dutheil is currently managed by Arnaud Couly. In 2005, he decided to change direction, focusing on vineyard work to obtain much riper grapes and fruitier wines without sacrificing freshness. This involves low extraction, abandoning oak aging, and very light filtration. Tasting the different cuvées of Domaine Couly-Dutheil is to discover the diverse terroirs of the Chinon appellation. The estate owns 95 hectares in Chinon and 7 hectares in Turquant, within the Saumur and Saumur-Champigny appellations. Arnaud Couly-Dutheil, great-grandson of Baptiste Dutheil, the estate's founder, offers a new perspective on the Chinon appellation, highlighting the estate's finest parcels.
