Chateau de Coulaine is located on the famous terroir from the Véron in the Val de Loire, and follows a very old family wine tradition, never interrupted since 1300.
Taken over by Etienne de Bonnaventure as early as 1988, the vineyard has expanded and currently 12 hectares in organic farming, a personal choice that fits perfectly in the constant search for a harmonious balance between tradition and modernity.

Tasting
Pale in color, the light woody character blends into the fleshy substance of this wine, which has been aged on its fine lees. The natural acidity balances the fatness provided by the natural stirring of the lees during fermentation.
Food pairings
River fish, or white meats: pike-perch, pike, filet mignon with turnips, parsnips and oyster mushrooms; the more adventurous will be tempted by Southeast Asian cuisine and its coconut milk curries, without spicing things up too much.
