Vinous 93 pts!  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. Both a traditional method and a very successful pét-nat are in the domaine range. When it comes to still wines, Carême’s taste preference is for dry styles, and that’s what you’ll mostly find in his chalky cellars. In 2022, the warm, dry vintage is reflected in the fruit's ripe sweetness and the wines' amplitude. The older vines that make the single vineyard parcel Le Clos seem to have negotiated the conditions well; the younger vines on Clos de la Roche seem more sensitive, showing some alcoholic heat. The 2022 Vouvray Le Clos is a ripe edition of this wine—full and round with a silken texture. But, it still manages to keep itself together and refined, which is the sign of old vines on a good site. It’s quite focused despite its richness, with a sense of lift and spirit on the finish, leaving you wanting more. Nectarine, floral and pastry notes linger on the long finish
