Regular price $32.00

100% Cabernet Franc. A fresh, supple, fruit-driven Chinon, showing bright raspberry, strawberry, red cherry, violet, and a subtle peppery note. The palate is juicy and easy-drinking, with lively acidity, fine tannins, and a clean, mineral freshness from the sandy, gravelly alluvial terraces along the Vienne. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and given a relatively short 10–15 day cuvaison, it emphasizes Cabernet Franc’s pure red-fruit character rather than weight or oak. Serve slightly cool with charcuterie, roast chicken, pork, lasagna, grilled vegetables, or chèvre.

Details

Founded in 1921 in Chinon, Domaine Couly-Dutheil is a historic family estate and one of the appellation’s best-known producers, with a particular focus on Cabernet Franc. The domaine owns and farms several important Chinon sites, including the renowned Clos de l’Écho and Clos de l’Olive, and today is led by Jacques Couly-Dutheil and his son Arnaud. Their viticulture is described as “culture raisonnée,” with grassing between rows, yield control, green harvesting, and careful canopy management. Les Gravières, first released in 1984, was created specifically to showcase the lighter, fruitier expression of Cabernet Franc from Chinon’s sandy and gravelly soils.
