Ratings: Guide Hachette 2** (Remarkable Wine), Bettane & Desseauve 15.5/20, RVF 15/20
“The attack on the palate is crisp and refined, with notes of caramel. The palate is defined by a lovely, well-integrated acidity. This is a beautifully balanced semi-dry wine, perfect for the table. ” (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2009 - Bettane & Desseauve)

The most recent vintages are among the finest produced by the estate and the appellation. Always noteworthy, the quality of the sparkling wines is particularly noteworthy, and the non-dosage brut is superb. You’ll want to place your order right away.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Rising 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 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 one of the leading figures in the Vouvray appellation. Across 17.5 hectares of Chenin planted on the flint-clay soils of Vernou-sur-Brenne and Nozay, meticulous organic farming (certified in 2007) yields healthy, vibrant grapes in the cellar. This winemaker, now in his forties, is moving toward increasingly dry wines, but his “Le Peu Morier” and “Tendre” wines energetically incorporate residual sugars, resulting in briny and savory whites. His commitment to quality has been taken even further with the introduction of biodynamic practices; aging in old barrels (400 liters) is becoming increasingly precise. These wines are crafted with great care.
