"A real success—this Chenin has an impeccably silky texture!"
Le Peu Morier, a fresh and mineral-driven Vouvray, offers a nose of white fruit and floral aromas. Rich on the palate, it features fruit supported by subtle oak, with superb balance on the finish. A great white wine that can age for a few years in the cellar!

Wine rated (2026 guide) 92/100
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 wine:
As usual, Le Peu Morier combines a certain tenderness with a mouthwatering vibrancy. A straightforward white wine, without any pretension!
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.
