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
It's a dry wine, even if there are 4 or 5 grams of sugar left, with a fine salinity and acidity that carries the wine through to the long finish. The aroma is round, greedy, with tropical notes.
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.
