Domaine Huet, Loire, France

Drinking 2017

Scores

RS 18 g/l. The sweetness seems to mask some of the fruit purity, but the technical balance of acid and sugar is very well judged, leaving the palate absolutely clean and refreshed. Shows all the standard waxy, lemon curd flavours of Chenin Blanc, with a honeyed finish. 13%. Drink 2017-2025

16.5/20 Richard Hemming MW

Tasting Notes

An incredibly full aroma, this fantastically scented demi-sec has soft notes of summer garden and citrus fruit salad. White peach, jasmine and lemon peel give the wine a stunning delicacy coupled by an amazing vibrancy as the sugars dance like a ballerina on the tongue.  Impeccable balance between fondant fancy vanilla notes and a mineral laciness that lingers on and on.

ProducerDomaine Huet

Few producers can claim a level of influence to almost identify with their appellation – one of those is Domaine Huet. This iconic estate has been one of the standard-bearers of Vouvray since 1928. A true pioneer, Gaston Huet was one of the first vignerons to adopt biodynamic practices and to focus on single-vineyard bottlings. Remaining true to the philosophy of the founders, Sarah Hwang and Jean-Bertrand Berthomé continue to craft superbly long-lived Chenin Blanc from their three vineyards. From lively sparkling to unctuous Moelleux, the Domaine Huet range is the most extraordinary way to venture into Vouvray. See More
