Vouvray Brut Domaine Vincent Carême
The Vouvray Brut Domaine Vincent Carême is one of the finest examples of Loire sparkling winemaking, highlighting the purity and complexity of the Chenin Blanc grape. The vines, aged between 20 and 60 years, are planted on a distinctive terroir of clay, flint, and limestone, located on the first slopes facing west towards the Brenne valley. These soils give the wine both structure and minerality, while ensuring a great aging potential.
Produced following the traditional method, the winemaking process begins with alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks, leaving a natural residual sugar of around 18 g/l. Before bottling, 10-15% of reserve wine is added, enhancing depth and consistency. The second fermentation takes place in bottle, followed by 12 to 24 months of lees aging, which imparts complexity and finesse. After disgorgement, the wine is released without dosage, preserving its natural freshness and precision.
In the glass, the Vouvray Brut shines with a bright straw-yellow hue and an elegant, persistent perlage. The bouquet is expressive and refined, offering aromas of ripe peach, white flowers, and subtle hints of toasted almond. On the palate, it displays freshness and harmony, with fine bubbles that enhance its crispness, a mineral backbone, and a long, persistent finish.
Perfect as an elegant aperitif, this sparkling wine pairs wonderfully with avocado and shrimp blinis, smoked salmon bites, fried fish fillets, stuffed calamari, and aged cheeses. A wine that embodies both tradition and modernity, the Vouvray Brut Domaine Vincent Carême is ideal for those seeking a terroir-driven sparkling wine that is vibrant and elegant today, with the capacity to evolve gracefully over time.
