Tasting Notes
Perched on the Première Côte, just above the town of Vouvray, Clos du Bourg is a monopole and generally regarded as the greatest of the three Huet single vineyards. It has been farmed by the domaine since 1953 and was purchased in 1963. Arguably the region’s greatest vineyard, Clos du Bourg makes some of Europe's most powerful, thrilling and long-lived white wines. With only one metre of topsoil over solid limestone, the vines immediately tap into the mineral resources underfoot. The warmth of the site, combined with the mineral complexion of the soils, results in rich, long-lived wines that seem to effortlessly combine intense, charged minerality with generous texture and concentration. - Importer Note
Founded in 1928 by Victor Huet and his son Gaston, Domaine Huet has become the benchmark for Chenin Blanc in France’s Loire Valley. Based in Vouvray, the estate has long been regarded as one of the world’s greatest white wine producers. With three celebrated vineyards – Le Haut-Lieu, Le Mont, and Clos du Bourg – Huet captures the essence of Chenin Blanc across a range of soils and expositions, producing wines of remarkable depth and longevity.
A pioneer of biodynamics (certified since 1990), Domaine Huet farms with an unwavering commitment to healthy soils and balanced vines. The results are wines that reflect their terroir with crystalline precision. Whether in the bone-dry Sec, the supple Demi-Sec, the lusciously sweet Moelleux, or the rare sparkling Pétillant, Huet’s wines are renowned for their ability to age gracefully for decades while always remaining vibrant and pure.
Today, under the stewardship of Sarah Hwang and longtime winemaker Benjamin Jolivet, Domaine Huet continues its legacy as one of France’s most important producers, crafting wines that are both deeply traditional and consistently thrilling to drink.
