Domaine Couamais

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.

Tasting Notes

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.

Food Matches

Perfect for pairing with Comté cheese and apple-based desserts.

Vinification

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.

Press Comments

After a restrained floral bouquet, the assertiveness of the wine’s red apple, passionfruit and orange flavours surprised me. However, everything is kept skilfully in balance with a lemon curd texture and the enlivening sharp lime and grapefruit acidity that accompanies it."
