Description
Vincent’s Vouvray Sec is a benchmark for the appellation, drawn from various 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
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.
