2022 Vouvray, Sec, Domaine Vincent Carême, Loire

Description

Vincent’s Vouvray Sec is a benchmark for the appellation, drawn from a variety of vineyards with different soil types and expositions. It is made entirely in used, large-format oak barrels, adding complexity without any oak character. The 2022 vintage was warm, reflected in the ripe yellow apple fruit on the nose and pleasing mid-palate generosity.

The exuberance is kept in check by a spine-tingling acidity and dry, grippy chalk texture that grabs at the sides of your tongue and leaves you reaching for the next sip.

Critics reviews

Rebecca Gibb MW 92/100
The 2022 Vouvray Sec is a perfumed, tender style. It is a serious wine that's bone dry with a grown-up element of tannins providing muscle and structure. In its youth, it offers up fresh apples, pears and peaches, nodding to the warmer season. It is quite tense right now and needs some time to relax. But it was a shorter bottling. I think this needs a bit of time to come out.Domaine Vincent Carême is one of the appellation’s leading lights. Starting in 1999, Vincent Carême was a member of the younger generation implementing what was viewed as artisanal ideas in the early 2000s, including organics and low sulfur regimes. Carême is now part of the Vouvray furniture, and these seemingly new ideas are now integral to the appellation’s ascendancy. Both a traditional method and a very successful pét-nat are in the domaine range. When it comes to still wines, Carême’s taste preference is for dry styles, and that’s what you’ll mostly find in his chalky cellars. The winery cat recently died, but a dog, Tarzan, has now installed chez Carême.Drink 2024 - 203Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous.com.com (October 2023)

About this wine

Vouvray

Vouvray

Based in the Touraine district of the Loire, the 2,000-hectare Vouvray appellation covers a range of dry, through off-dry, sweet to sparkling styles. Its Chenin Blanc vineyards give the wines vibrant acidity and a stony, floral and at times waxy character. Under perfect skies, the producers aim for moelleux sweet wines, hand-harvested by trie, often imbued with noble rot and rich with residual sugar.
