Winery - Domaine Huet
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A dry Vouvray from the clay soils of the Haut-Lieu vineyard. This rich but crisp, full-bodied wine shows intense green apple flavors, with a chalk texture, and is beautifully balanced. Like all Huët’s biodynamically farmed wines, this is likely to last for years.

The Clos du Bourg vineyard has produced a concentrated wine, definitely dry, but with richness rounding it out magnificently. The texture is tight, flavors of ripe apples and cream surrounded by dense, complex mineral, almond and spice. Age for at least 7–10 years.

Classic. Beautiful acidity is balanced by just a touch of sweetness. The wine is bright with apple and lime flavors.

A wine with a very mineral character, some weight, very lively acidity, rounded out with spice and pear. This is for long-term aging, over five years and more.

Very pure in character, a wine that expresses the chalk terroir. Minerality and complexities of bright acidity, flavors of pear juice and grapefruit presage a final hint of honey.

A tightly delineated wine, ripe, but with a great swathe of tangy balancing acidity. The structure shows the immense possibility of aging in a wine that is not yet getting into its stride.

Exuberant wine, almost exotic in its flavors, with ripe currant and a lining of honey. Full in the mouth, intense and concentrated.

A wine that just hints at its enormous future. It is opulent, rich, rounded, full of quince, spice, layers of honey and apricots. It is gorgeous without losing any freshness. Keep for seven years.

This will be a wonderful wine. Already, it is fine, with lovely acidity, bright and richly sweet at the same time. Yellow fruits mingle with honey, pear, almonds and the intense sweetness of botrytis.
