"This little mount of Peu Morier flinty clay offers a lovely intensity of ripe flavors and a fine grain of texture through to a bright finish. A beautiful depth to evolve serenely for a decade or so." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2022 - RVF)

Wine rated (2022 guide) 93/100
Domain rated (2025 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
Tender, refined attack on the palate, with saffron and integrated acidity. Beautifully balanced semi-dry, made for the table and representative of this flinty terroir.
About the domain :
In Vouvray, Vincent Carême has imposed his brilliant style. Pure, precise and luminous, the wines are priced between 15 and 20 euros and offer great value for money. Recent vintages are among the most accomplished of the estate and appellation. The quality of the sparkling wines is always interesting, and the brut non dosé is superb. Order now!

Domaine rated (2025 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
This little mount of Peu Morier flinty clay offers a lovely intensity of ripe flavors and fine-grained texture through to a brilliant finish. It has the depth to evolve serenely over the next ten years or so.
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 his 17.5 hectares of chenin vines planted on the flinty clays of Vernou-sur-Brenne and Nozay, his meticulous organic viticulture (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.

A remarkable dry white, perfectly suited to an aperitif dinner, even for those who don't like chenin.
