Château du Coudray Montpensier produces Cabernet Franc from Chinon, in the Middle Loire's Touraine district. The region's cool continental climate and slate-rich soils shape wines of structure and mineral precision. The winery's portfolio centers on Cabernet Franc expressions across three tiers: the Gaudéamus Cuvée d'Excellence, Le Grand Bouqueteau Réserve, and Le Grand Bouqueteau. Each reflects Chinon's signature character—bright acidity, red-fruit aromatics, and the peppery spice that defines the Loire's premier Cabernet Franc terroir. Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Decanter have rated the portfolio.
