Vincent Careme
Domaine Vincent Carême is a distinguished organic winery located in Vernou-sur-Brenne, within the Vouvray appellation of the Loire Valley, France. Established in 1999 by Vincent Carême, a first-generation winemaker from a cereal farming family, the estate has become a leading force in the revitalization of Vouvray wines. Vincent's journey into winemaking began at the age of 14 under his grandfather's guidance, and after completing his viticulture studies, he gained practical experience before founding his own domaine.
Description
There’s an appealing delicacy to the 2023 vintage, reflecting the cool Loire terroir. The wine is bone-dry yet generous, with signature flint and meadow notes on the nose, leading into cool pear, nectarine, citrus zest and a subtle saline freshness. The palate is precise and vibrant, carrying stony minerality through a long, refreshing finish.
Food Pairing
A versatile dry Chenin Blanc that pairs beautifully with seafood (oysters, scallops, grilled fish), light poultry dishes, creamy risottos, goat cheese, and delicate vegetable preparations. Its freshness also makes it an ideal aperitif.
