If, like Salieri, you object to too many notes in Mozart, then you probably won’t like this wine. But if you appreciate classical Vouvray, the ornate explosiveness of silex and chenin, this one is grand and smoky. Substantial in its weight and roundness, there’s enough tart acidity to keep it in line. Carême farms this organically on two steep, adjacent parcels of 40- to 50-year-old vines, fermenting it without added yeast in 400-liter barrels (only 10 percent new). It’s an impressive 2013 and a wine to drink over the next several years with roast monkfish and morels.

Made from old vines and vinified in oak, this beautifully rich, very dry wine has both rounded apricots and quince plus a touch of toast. It is still young, fresh and needs to age. Drink from 2017 and the tense, youthful minerality will disappear and become richer and full.

Most of the blocks are on steep slopes overlooking the Loire valley with two of them, Le Clos (meaning enclosed vineyard) and Le Peu Morier, being vinified separately to express their unique terroirs. All of Domaine Vincent Careme's wines are certified organic from 2010 onwards by Ecocert in France.
