Tasting Notes
Purchased in 1957, the steep, rocky, eight-hectare vineyard of Le Mont lies on Vouvray’s esteemed Première Côte, part of a bank of limestone-rich hillside vineyards overlooking Tours. This block's argilo-siliceux soils (stony with green mineral clays and flint over limestone) provide the tight structure and pungent minerality that Le Mont is renowned for. With less clay (and a different type of clay) and more stone than Le Haut-Lieu, this site typically produces the nerviest wines of the Huet stable, so mostly dry and off-dry whites are produced from this vineyard. - 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.
