Crafted by a skilled winemaker, this wine showcases the unique characteristics of the region's vineyards.

The result is a dry and crisp wine with vibrant acidity and flavors of citrus, green apple, and white flowers. This Vouvray Sec is a perfect choice for those seeking a refreshing and elegant white wine experience.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Vincent Careme Vouvray Sec is a delightful white wine from the Vouvray region in the Loire Valley of France.On the nose, it offers a bouquet of enticing aromas, including notes of ripe apple, pear, and citrus fruits. There may also be hints of honey, white flowers, and mineral undertones, adding complexity to the aromatic profile.
On the palate, this wine showcases a harmonious balance between its vibrant acidity and its fruit flavors. The Chenin Blanc grapes lend a crisp and refreshing character, with flavors of green apple, lemon, and quince. There is often a touch of sweetness, although it is well-integrated and doesn't overpower the overall dryness of the wine. The mouthfeel is typically medium-bodied, with a smooth texture and a lingering finish.

It also complements poultry, creamy cheeses, and light vegetarian dishes. This wine can be enjoyed in its youth, but it also has the potential to age gracefully, developing more complex flavors and aromas over time.
