La Pucelle de Romorantin from Domaine de la Charmoise is a true gem of the Vin de France appellation, crafted from the rare Romorantin grape, meticulously preserved on the estate for nearly two centuries. Planted between 1820 and 1840, this century-old vine, miraculously resistant to phylloxera, is the origin of a wine rich in history. In 2006, cuttings from this ancient vine were grafted to produce a new generation of ungrafted vines, preserving the estate’s priceless legacy.
This unique wine reveals itself right from the nose with an intense concentration of citrus, evoking grapefruit zest and hints of bergamot lemon. The palate is structured, with delicate bitterness and a slightly peppery finish that accentuates the complexity of Romorantin. The texture is generous and refreshing, offering subtle notes of apple, pear, and melon, all elevated by a gentle minerality.
Both round and dry, this wine captivates with its perfect balance between vibrant acidity and fullness, with a long, refreshing, citrusy finish. Built to age, La Pucelle de Romorantin deserves to be revisited after a few years in the cellar, where it will reveal its full complexity: aromas of honey and white fruits, hints of almond, and a lasting, elegant minerality. This refined wine, with its remarkable tension and freshness, embodies the soul of Domaine de la Charmoise, blending history and daring in every sip.
La Pucelle de Romorantin from Domaine de la Charmoise promises a captivating journey for wine enthusiasts, merging tradition with refined tastes, and is undoubtedly a standout among Vin de France wines.
