Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
The discreet Vincent Carême, who also produces steen (the local name for Chenin) in South Africa under the name Terre Brûlée (40,000 bottles per year), is now one of the leading figures in the Vouvray appellation. On the 17.5 hectares of Chenin spread over the flinty clay soils of Vernou-sur-Brenne and Nozay, meticulous organic farming (certified in 2007) produces healthy, vibrant grapes in the cellar. This forty-something winemaker tends towards increasingly dry wines, but his Le Peu Morier and Tendre wines energetically incorporate residual sugars, offering salty and sapid whites. The standards are pushed even further with the introduction of biodynamic treatments; aging in old barrels (400 liters) is becoming increasingly precise. These wines are very well crafted.

Review and opinion by Mr. BENOIT F. Published on 05/31/2021
Almost no aroma. Perhaps came from the same batch as the 2010 Petit Morier. These bottles probably had defects or came from a bad vat or were poorly stored.

An excellent introduction to Vouvray with this delicate vintage that filled the mouth and nose with subtle and contrasting flavors—a beautiful bottle that will pique my curiosity about Loire white wines.

Note and opinion by Mr. PIERRE PAUL E. Published on 04/26/2013
Very floral on the nose and surprising from the first sip. Fresh and playful, it releases aromas of white flowers and apricot. Perfect as an aperitif or simply to sip in the shade of an arbor. Very successful.
