Product description for Château de Coulaine Bonnaventure AOC 2019 (bio)

Wine Information

The Bonnaventure – named after the owner family – is a Cabernet Franc that comes from a vineyard directly behind the château. The vines are planted on a south-facing plateau of 2.8 hectares with yellow tuff and gray sand in the topsoil. The Cabernet is vinified in cuves of 60 hectoliters.

Colour

Cherry red

Nose

The Bonnaventure smells exactly like you would expect from a Cabernet Franc from Chinon. It’s the lively blend of cherries, cassis, and blackberries, the hint of smoke and crushed flint, the bouquet of garden herbs with a touch of thyme, juniper, and salt that makes the wine extremely appetizing.

Palate

On the palate, the Bonnaventure appears round and full, juicy and earthy. The tannins are fine and round, the dark fruit full-bodied and ripe, but also crisp and fresh in parts. It is an intense and lively Chinon with a firm core of lively acidity, dark, firm chocolate, some forest soil, leaves and undergrowth, with a touch of graphite, rock and juniper, which gives the whole a cool touch. Here, too, the tannins remain pleasantly present and shape the wine, while a touch of salt has a pleasant mouthwatering effect. The four years of aging after the harvest have already given the Chinon a very beautiful structure and balance.
