“Aromas of mirabelle plums, with a hint of curry and caramel in this ambitious, meticulously crafted wine, enriched by its lees. It offers good body and a clean structure, skillfully highlighted by the oak: its balance is far superior to that of the 2013.” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2017 - RVF)

In Vouvray, Vincent Carême has established his brilliant style. Pure, precise, and luminous, the wines are priced between 15 and 20 euros and offer excellent value for money. The most recent vintages are among the most accomplished of both the estate and the appellation. Always noteworthy, the quality of the sparkling wines is particularly worth mentioning, and the non-dosage brut is superb. You’ll want to place your order right away.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
Aromas of mirabelle plums, with hints of curry and caramel, in this ambitious, meticulously crafted wine, enriched by its lees. It offers a full-bodied texture and a clean structure, skillfully highlighted by the oak: its balance is far superior to that of the 2013.
About the estate:
The unassuming Vincent Carême, who also produces “steen” (the local name for Chenin) in South Africa under the Terre Brûlée label (40,000 bottles per year), is now among the leading figures of the Vouvray appellation. Across 17.5 hectares of Chenin planted on the flint-rich clay soils of Vernou-sur-Brenne and Nozay, meticulous organic cultivation (certified in 2007) yields healthy, vibrant grapes in the cellar. This winemaker, now in his forties, is moving toward increasingly dry wines, yet his “Le Peu Morier” and “Tendre” wines energetically incorporate residual sugars, offering savory, mineral-driven whites. His commitment to excellence has been taken even further with the introduction of biodynamic practices; aging in old barrels (400 L) is becoming increasingly precise. These wines are crafted with great care.
