    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 taken pleasure in 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, continuing to improve the quality of the wines. The mythical terroir of picasses in beaumont-en-véron has a clay-limestone soil on yellow tuffeau. The plots are located on the top of the hillside, south-facing and well ventilated. The wine has a beautiful ruby-red color. On the nose, aromas of red berries dominate over notes of violet. On the palate, this Chinon is lively and straightforward, with great fruity volume. It has great floral freshness and is designed for laying down. It can also be
