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.
