Tasting notes
The 2015 Chinon Clos de L'Echo is a very complete wine that's starting to mature. Hailing from a warm season that ended with a cool harvest period, it offers fine focus in the mouth despite its natural breadth. The black currant and minty fruit of youth are now being joined by savory, developing flavors. The star of the show is the abundant yet resolved tannins, which positively coat the mouth with a fine veil of cocoa-powder-like grains. The lengthy finish is savory, scented and satisfying yet fresh with mouthwatering acidity. Drinking beautifully now and for another decade.

The 2015 Chinon Clos de l'Echo offers an extraordinary deep, fresh, concentrated and wonderfully aromatic bouquet of dark berries intertwined with herbal/floral and spicy notes. Full-bodied, rich and elegant, with remarkable freshness and vitality, this is another exceptional effort from Couly-Dutheil that reveals fine tannins and enormous concentration and sustainable vitality. Very good length. Tasted in May 2021.
60- to 80-year-old Cabernet Franc vines. Indigenous yeast, and unoaked. Fresh, zesty nose. Light to medium bodied and with sweet, fragrant fruit. Fully evolved and charming. (JR)
