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

WE99
Even more concentrated than Huet's superb 2009 Première Trie, this is outstanding. It has both great concentration and elegance. The wine is touched by botrytis, while retaining freshness. Made from ripe, just shrivelling grapes, this is sweet Vouvray at its magnificent best.
WS98
This stunning wine is fresh, pure and driven at first, with seamless ginger, creamed fig and glazed pear fruit, before showing its density and power via the honeycomb-, quince- and heather-filled core. Then the minerality cuts in, turning the finish back to racy despite the range of exotic fruit. A jaw-dropping display of richness balanced by precision. Drink now through 2040.
