Chinon Rouge Domaine Rene Couly - 2007Loire Valley Red Wine 75 cl Bottle
It is perfumed with violets and subtle oak aromas with pepper and red berry flavours on the palate. Soft and fruity on the palate with harmonious tannins. There is a depth and has a ripeness more typical of a St Emilion than Chinon. The maturity and complexity in this wine makes it a serious Loire red of unexpected complexity capable of up to ten years cellaring.
Founded some 80 years ago by Pierre and Jacques Couly, the Domaine Couly-Duthiel is by far Chinon`s single most important producer, with some 100 hectares of its own vineyards. The care of the vineyards has now passed to Jacques son, Arnaud, who runs the vineyards in accordance with `la lutte raisonnee` or sustainable viticulture.
