The Winery

G. Huet

As one of the leading producers in the Vouvray region of the Loire Valley, Domaine Huet is known and praised for its wide range of wines made from the Chenin Blanc grape. Due to the richness and concentration of the wines they have received acclaim for their ageability. The domaine was founded in 1928 by a Parisian bistro owner named Victor Huet, but at the time was called Le Haut-Lieu. With the help of his son, Gaston, Victor was able to devote himself to creating superb quality that is now what has made the domaine a great success. The three vineyards in Domaine Huet gets its fruit from are Le Haut-Lieu, comprised of heavier brown clay, Clos du Bourg, made up of shallow clay-limestone soils, and Le Mont, consisting of pebbly clay and silica. Each of these three vineyards impart a different signature into the wine to achieve a captivating level of transparency and purity meant to be enjoyed for years to come.

Tasting Notes

WA100
The color of the 2003 Vouvray Moelleux Cuvée Constance (poured from the 500 ml bottle) is as golden-orange as is the small paper strip label. On the nose this wine is an unreal beauty, combining perfect fruit ripeness and concentration with precision, finesse and spicy/mineral flavors that are quite rare in sweet wines of this top level. Smooth, nobly elegant, perfectly balanced and highly intense on the palate, this is a wine to die for. Its finesse and weightless intensity is beyond worth. Surely the finest Huet I ever tasted.
WS98
Offers a stunning array of date, quince paste, fig and persimmon aromas and flavors, with a laser of acidity carrying it all through an extremely lengthy finish. Just when you think it's all opulence, riveting acidity and a green tea hint flash on the finish, leaving a wonderfully elegant impression. Drink now through 2030.
