"An incredible energetic freshness emanates from this 2016 moelleux, a vintage whose tension magnificently lifts the wines." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France - RVF) Harvested in over-ripening, this Chenin Blanc reveals an elegant concentration of aromas and sugars, with notes of pear and quince. The grape variety's natural acidity gives this mellow Vouvray excellent balance.

About the wine:
An incredible energetic freshness emanates from this 2016 mellow, a vintage whose tension magnificently lifts the wines.
About the domain :
The discreet Vincent Carême, who also produces steen (the local name for chenin) in South Africa under the name Terre Brûlée (40,000 bottles a year), is now one of the leading lights of the Vouvray appellation. On the 17.5 hectares of Chenin vines planted on the flinty clay soils of Vernou-sur-Brenne and Nozay, meticulous organic farming (certified in 2007) ensures healthy, brilliant grapes in the cellar. This forty-something tends towards increasingly dry wines, but his Le Peu Morier and Tendre energetically integrate residual sugars, offering salty, sapid whites. The demands are taken even further with the start of biodynamic treatments, and ageing in old barrels (400 l) is increasingly precise. These wines are very meticulous.
