The Estate
Domaine Vincent Carême was founded in 1999. It is located in Vernou sur Brenne in the Indre-et-Loire department, in the heart of the Vouvray appellation. The vineyard covers 17 hectares, entirely cultivated using organic farming methods. The care given with passion associated with this exceptional vineyard makes this estate an essential reference in the Vouvray appellation.
The terroir
For millions of years, the erosion of the Loire, the Brenne and their tributaries has created the best wine-growing soils of the Vouvray appellation. This characteristic flint clay terroir is dedicated to Chenin.
The grape variety
Chenin blanc is the only variety that produces Vouvray. Chenin is a great vigorous grape variety, it is expressive, very fine and has excellent aging potential.
The wine
The Sec vintage from Domaine Vincent Carême is a great success! Its golden color and the brilliance of its dress distinguish it from other wines produced in the Loire Valley. This Vouvray offers a beautiful aromatic palette of pear and vine peach with a hint of quince. On the palate it is generous and a pleasant acidity is present throughout the tasting. It will be the ideal companion for aperitifs but will also be appreciated with fish or seafood, white meat or even a vegetable gratin.
