1. Wash the strawberries, hull them, and cut them in half or quarters depending on their size.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the strawberries, white wine, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the strawberries evenly.
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the strawberries to macerate and soak up the wine.
4. While the strawberries are macerating, prepare the whipped crème fraîche. In a large bowl, whisk together crème fraîche, heavy cream, and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
5. Once the strawberries are ready, remove them from the refrigerator and gently stir to ensure they are evenly coated in the wine mixture.
6. To serve, divide the macerated strawberries into individual serving bowls or glasses, making sure to include some of the wine syrup.
7. Add a generous dollop of whipped crème fraîche on top of each serving.
8. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, sophisticated dessert!
