    In a few words ...

    Situated on the illustrious "terroir du véron" already sung by Rabelais, Château de Coulaine is a very old family estate whose winegrowing tradition has been unbroken since 1300. From time immemorial, vines have enjoyed sinking their roots into the land surrounding the château, which was rebuilt in the 15th century. In 1988, Etienne de Bonnaventure undertook the expansion of the vineyard, which now covers 12 hectares and is organically farmed. This personal choice is fully in line with the ongoing quest for a harmonious balance between tradition and modernity. Since, January 2017, etienne's son jean has been at the helm of the estate and continues to drive forward the quality of the wines. The parcels that give rise to this blend are located on the immediate outskirts of the estate, on the last foothills of the hillsides on the right bank of the vienne, at the entrance to the véron terroir. This is a well-structured wine, rich in color and substance. The color is dark, purplish purple. The nose is aromatic, fruity and complex. On the palate, this wine reveals lovely aromas of red fruit: strawberry, raspberry. Velvety, silky tannins on a long finish.
