Tasting Notes
Only the best grower Champagnes have the kind of interest, sense of place and attention to detail offered by this sparkling wine. Bottled at a low pressure of 2.5 atmospheres (most Champagnes are between five and six), this wine has a more delicate fizz than most. The fruit is all estate-grown (certified biodynamic) and comes from the youngest vines. Crafted in a hybrid méthode ancestrale style (only natural sugar in the must was used for the second fermentation) it’s a wine that is made in years that favour dry wine production.
The 2015 spent 36 months on lees in the Huet cellars and has just over one gram per litre residual sugar (when appropriate, the wine is dosed with demi-sec or moelleux wine from a previous vintage). To quote sparkling wine authority Peter Liem on the style, “...it’s a magical, intensely expressive wine, and ridiculously inexpensive for the quality”. - 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.
