Overview
Vincent Carême Le Clos is a remarkable Vouvray that showcases the pinnacle of winemaking from one of the Loire Valley’s most dynamic and respected producers. Created by Vincent Carême, a pioneer in revitalising the Vouvray region, this wine hails from a prime limestone (tuffeau) site in the renowned Le Clos vineyard. The vineyard’s steep slopes, worked by horse to preserve its health and integrity, produce Chenin Blanc of exceptional quality. With its organic farming practices and dedication to producing wines with depth and character, this is the jewel in the crown of the Carême domaine.
Tasting Notes
The nose of this wine is beautifully complex, with pronounced chalky notes that evoke the character of Sancerre’s terres blanches soils, layered with fresh greengage and zesty lime. The palate is alive with energy, driven forward by a vibrant minerality that adds tension and precision. The wine is crisp and pure, with a harmonious balance of citrus fruit and delicate floral undertones. Its taut structure and lively acidity give it a remarkable freshness, while the subtle richness and depth suggest great ageing potential. A truly brilliant wine, it offers a taste of the exceptional terroir from which it comes, making it a must-have for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
