Jean-Paul Couamais is a traditional brand chiefly dedicated to Vouvray and Touraine wines. In 1969 Jean-Paul Couamais took over his parents vines and over a period of 40 years, he increased the surface area of his vineyard by six, acquiring the best parcels with exceptional terroirs next to his estate. As a result, Jean-Paul Couamais now boasts 47 hectares of vines, chiefly made up of Chenin, the Loire Valley’s emblematic variety. The wines are made on the estate, located at the heart of the Vouvray appellation area in Vernou-Sur-Brenne. Passionate and attached to these same traditional values, cellar master, Ti Jouvin, is committed to constantly fine-tuning the standard of the estate’s wines in view of offering products that can be enjoyed whatever the occasion, marked by fruit and freshness.
This is an off-dry style of Vouvray, with aromas of ripe peach and quince, and crisp red apples. On the palate the fruits are juicy and plump, with a hint of sweetness coming through. The finish is fresh and balanced by great acidity.
This Vouvray benefits from aging for 10 to 12 months on fine lees, in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. This long aging, combined with regular stirring of the fine lees, adds texture (3 months of aging in bottles completes the aging process). A period during which the "Alcove" will finish being sculpted.
