2020 Vouvray, Le Peu Morier, Domaine Vincent Carême, Loire

Le Peu Morier is one of the top single vineyard parcels in the Domaine Vincent Carême range, made from a site with clay and flint soil. The 2020 has a discreet nose that slowly unfurls to offer up notes of lanolin, a little exotic fruit and a hint of white truffle. The palate is weighty and quite powerful: just off-dry, but with a pleasing acidity that leaves a satisfying, palate-cleansing finish.

If you are looking for a dry Loire Chenin, that's perfect for drinking now. This is it. Vincent Carême is an absolute wizard with this variety, and his Le Peu Morier vineyard produces some of the region's best whites. I love the rich quince fruit and hints of wild honey. You will feel the ripeness of the vintage in the creamy texture, but there's still so much appetising acidity and a smoky minerality that indeed comes from the flint in this vineyard. This is so delicious now and will comfortably last for another five years.
