2021 Vouvray, Sec, Domaine Vincent Carême, Loire

Vincent and Tania Carême’s Vouvray Sec is always a benchmark for the appellation and after a succession of warmer, riper vintages, 2021 represents a return to a more classical style. The nose has hallmark notes of green apple, wet wool and crushed chalk, while the palate is crisp, clean and nervy with a keen thread of acidity that builds from the start. That brightness, alongside precise orchard fruit, builds through the palate to give a wonderfully moreish, food-friendly wine. This is a versatile wine which would pair well with seafood, cheeses and roast white meat.
