Tasting Notes
“The residual sugar is 90 g/l, says Jean-Bernard Berthomé. The aromatics, despite the vintage’s reputation as a heatwave year, are spot on. This is classic evolving première tri Vouvray, a melange of limestone minerals drizzled with a a sweet honey caramel, intertwined with a wonderful citrus freshness and lift. It seems delightfully promising.
The palate, I am happy to report, follows on from this first impression quite beautifully, the fruit and minerals resting on a bed of sweet caramel, and although this is not a vintage rich in botrytis I do detect a little note here too. The wine as a whole maintains a very fine balance too throughout. A very impressive, broad, imposing wine with a long and cleanly balanced finish. Delicious.” 18.5/20 points, Chris Kissack, Wine Doctor (January 2016)
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.
