Huet
It's not often a domaine entirely equates with a grape but that is the case with Chenin Blanc and Domaine Huet. The Domaine comprises of three iconic vineyards. Le Haut Lieu is generous and the earliest drinking; Le Mont is intensely mineral with great length and finesse; and the Clos du Bourg sits between the two styles. These three vineyards account for Huet being the greatest of all Vouvray producers. Each vineyard produces different styles from dry to sweet: sec, demi-sec, moelleux and moelleux 1er trie ("first selection").

Wine Advocate (95)The 2015 Vouvray Clos du Bourg Demi-Sec displays a well defined and complex bouquet of ripe and concentrated fruits intertwined with chalky flavors. Dense and elegant on the palate, with a mouth-filling fruit and a perfect sweetness that counterbalances the raciness and firm mineral structure, this is a finesse-full and powerful Chenin with lots of salt and tension. A gorgeous, precise and vivacious wine with great aging potential. |
