Vintage: | 2019 |

Description: | There are few names more respected in the Loire than that of Couly-Dutheil, known for the quality of its wines served at the most prestigious tables in France for almost 100 years. Established in 1921 by Baptiste Dutheil it was not until 1928 when the winery flourished. That year, a distant relative, Rene Couly, came to Chinon and married the daughter of Baptiste and Marie, Madeleine. Rene subsequently became the driving force in Couly-Dutheil, increasing the vineyard holdings and dramatically raising the quality of the wines. The estate's reputation was firmly established by next two generations; first, Pierre and Jacques, then their sons Bertrand and Arnaud. (Pierre and Bertrand have since founded their own domaine.) Couly-Dutheil remains in the visionary hands of the father-and-son team, Jacques and Arnaud, who produce Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc from extraordinary Chinon vineyard sites. |
