i. Biography
Charlotte Denis has been winemaker at Domaine de la Renaudie in Mareuil-sur-Cher, Touraine, Loire Valley, France, since 2020, bringing a measured hand to a place that seems to value precision as much as patience. Her own line on the work is direct: “We work our vineyard in an ecologically sustainable way.” It is a concise statement, but one that carries the weight of a larger philosophy—of cultivation that looks closely, respects the land, and asks each season to earn its place.
Coming Up
Charlotte Denis trained at Family of winemakers, where the foundations of her craft were laid with quiet rigor and a clear sense of purpose. That early formation gave her the practical discipline and calm confidence that now seem to define her approach. Since 2016, Charlotte is vigneronne and gérante of Domaine de la Renaudie, where she now shapes the estate with steady authority. The role suggests both hands-on work in the vineyard and the broader responsibility of stewardship, and under her direction the property reads as a family enterprise guided by continuity rather than display.
Where They Are Now
Charlotte Denis has been winemaker at the estate since 2020, and the present tense of the work is unmistakably collective: “We are a family-run operation.” That phrase frames the spirit of Domaine de la Renaudie, where the vocabulary of craft and inheritance sit comfortably side by side. In white, our flagship product is Touraine Sauvignon, a fruity, fresh Sauvignon with good balance. The description is as precise as it is inviting, evoking brightness, lift, and a sense of harmony in the glass. And then there is Our Sang pour Sang Malbec, the cuvée of my great-grandfather, a characterful red wine with black-fruit aromas and spicy notes on the finish. Here, the language turns more resonant, carrying the quiet intimacy of family history and the depth that comes with a wine shaped by memory as much as method.
Signature
Charlotte's signature dishes include Touraine Sauvignon, Sang pour Sang Malbec, Duo, L’Instant, and TOURAINE CHENONCEAUX BLANC 2024. Taken together, they sketch a cellar rooted in identity and range, where each name feels like part of the estate’s own rhythm—some familiar, some more specific, all tied to the same patient sense of place.
In Their Words “Our Sang pour Sang Malbec is the cuvée of my great-grandfather, a characterful red wine with black-fruit aromas and spicy notes on the finish.” “In white, our flagship product is Touraine Sauvignon, a fruity, fresh Sauvignon with good balance.”
