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.

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.
