The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine For more than 20 years, Vincent Carême’s reign over the Vouvray appellation has been supreme. Adept of dry, tapered, taut wines, capable of aging wonderfully, he asserts himself today as one of the most faithful ambassadors of the Loire Valley.

Organic farming, biodynamic treatments, aging in barrels and tuns… all these techniques produce wines of great depth and balance. The two types of terroir, between flinty clay and limestone, allow subtle variations around the Chenin grape variety, whether it is vinified dry, sweet or sparkling. Each of his wines are amongst the best in their category, a perfect representation of the genius and brilliant style that is Vincent Carêm’s winemaking.
Wine The 2021 white Dry Vouvray is a very pure wine, full of ripeness and freshness. Floral and white-fruit notes are set off by a delicate, fine structure with slight bitter accents. It deserves to be aerated before drinking or served in large glasses. Pair with gougères or sea bream tartar.
Vinification Hand harvested, fermented in 400-liter barrels, aged 9 months in 400-liter barrels.

Certified organic wine.
