La Coulée

This 2019 red comes from the talented Loire Valley winemaker Benoît Courault, known for crafting expressive, natural wines full of character. It reveals bright fruit, delicate spices and a silky texture that makes every sip feel both vibrant and authentic. The careful work in the vineyard and cellar brings out a pure expression of the terroir, with freshness and depth perfectly balanced. It’s a wine that feels alive in the glass, inviting you to slow down and enjoy. Best served slightly cool, around 15–16°C, it pairs beautifully with simple dishes, grilled meats or even just good company.
