Domaine HUET Vouvray "Le Clos du Bourg" Moelleux 1ere Trie 2018

750ml

SGD 109.00

96 points, Robert Parker

The 2018 Vouvray Clos du Bourg Moelleux Première Trie is fine, pure and vital on the nose of remarkable complexity, initially with aromas of white asparagus and mushrooms, but with aeration, notes of fresh toast, oak and flint take over. The palate is soft and opulent but serious, with a vibrant and very elegant freshness, with fine and persistent tannins as well as a beautiful touch of fresh oak. Still sweet but delicate and vital, it has a very attractive, structured but serious juiciness, accompanied by firm tannins extracted from the oak barrels. The darker-toned, Pinot-like Première Trie is perhaps even finer and saltier than the beautifully balanced and refined regular Moelleux and needs more time to integrate all of its components.

Discover the Winery: Domaine Huet

The Vouvray AOC was first created in 1936, and covers 1,800 hectares spread across eight different municipalities. The only grape variety allowed here is Chenin Blanc (also known as Pineau de la Loire). Established in 1928, today the Huet estate encompasses 35 hectares mainly spread over three properties: Le Haut-Lieu, Le Mont and Le Clos du Bourg. A well-known local figure, Gaston Huet (former mayor of Vouvray, member of the INAO), is now retired, and the estate was managed by his son-in-law, Noël Pinguet, from 1976 to 2012. Since 1990, the vineyard has been worked entirely according to biodynamic principles. Across the estate as a whole, half of the vines are between 30 and 50 years old. The property was bought in 2004 by Anthony Hwang, retaining the same essential philosophy and keeping Jean-Bernard Berthomé as cellar master. This estate is one of the most famous in the region, always delivering wines of the highest level. Top drawer.
