Première Vendange from Domaine de la Charmoise is a true gem from Touraine, a Gamay that redefines the winemaking game with daring charm. Crafted from vines nurtured in clay and sandy soils, this wine reflects a terroir of rare finesse and the domain’s deep commitment to harmony with nature. The grapes are hand-picked, carefully placed in small baskets to preserve each berry like a treasure ready to reveal its potential.
This sulfur-free winemaking process, an uncommon and risky choice, gives this wine its unique personality. Fermenting entirely naturally, indigenous yeasts express themselves freely, resulting in an intensity of color and complexity that surprises with each sip. Its clear purple hue invites exploration, and the nose delights with aromas of candy and fresh spices, like a whirlwind of freshness. On the palate, it reveals radiant flavors of red fruits—strawberries, raspberries, blackberries—highlighted by a subtle peppery touch and a delicate, herbal finish.
This quintessentially social wine, both light and refined, is best enjoyed young to appreciate its vibrant fruit, with an aging potential of 2 to 4 years. Its smoothness and refreshing character make it a joyful companion for all festive occasions, a “pleasure in a bottle” that combines the finesse of Touraine with the friendly spirit of Domaine de la Charmoise. Première Vendange is more than a wine; it’s an invitation to share authentic moments, smiles all around and glasses raised.
