RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
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, bright 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.
