Couly Dutheil - Clos de l'Echo | Chinon (Loire) Cabernet Franc
Red wine | France, LOIRE | 2019
Clos de l’Echo, the top wine of this house, is garnet red in color with a light purple appearance. Its delicious fruity nose opens impressions of ripe black cherries and cassis but also displays floral hues. On the palate, this fatty and hearty wine is well structured and has nice round tannins. After decanting, the bouquet fully develops! For lovers of a powerful wine with flexibility, this is the ultimate.
