Domaine Huet stands as a beacon of traditional Vouvray, renowned for its profound expressions of Chenin Blanc. The 'Le Haut-Lieu' vineyard, one of the estate's three historic clos, is characterised by its deep clay-limestone soils, imparting a distinctive minerality and structure to the wines. This 2023 'Sec' bottling represents the purest, driest interpretation of this esteemed terroir.
Crafted with meticulous attention to biodynamic principles, the wine undergoes a slow, natural fermentation, preserving the inherent vibrancy and complexity of the Chenin Blanc grape. It is a testament to the Huet philosophy: wines of precision, longevity, and profound regional typicity, designed to evolve gracefully over decades.
Tasting notes
The 2023 Domaine Huet Le Haut-Lieu Sec Vouvray presents a brilliant pale gold hue. On the nose, an intricate bouquet unfolds with notes of crisp green apple, quince, and a subtle hint of beeswax, underpinned by a pronounced wet-stone minerality. The palate is remarkably precise and taut, showcasing a vibrant acidity that frames flavours of citrus zest, white peach, and a saline edge. Its dry, focused character and impressive length culminate in a clean, refreshing finish, promising significant ageing potential.
