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

WA98
The 2015 Vouvray Le Mont Moelleux Première Trie is super clear, ripe and aromatic on the nose, highly elegant and with lovely flinty flavors. Intense and concentrated, with great finesse and vitality, this is a highly elegant and perfectly balanced wine with a persistent grip and salinity. Great balance and harmony.
WS95
Ripe and energetic, with unctuous quince, melon, fig and pear fruit flavors that power along, carried by bright green tea, honeysuckle and cardamom notes. The long finish is lush and enticing, showing latent, rippling minerality. A beauty. Drink now through 2035.
