Since its founding in 1928, Vouvray’s Domaine Huet has been the standard-bearer for great, age-worthy Chenin Blanc. And to this day, year after year, the estate produces some of the world’s most compelling white wines—and in a remarkable range that spans sparkling, dry, semi-dry, and breathtaking dessert styles.
This "Le Haut-Lieu"—is of 100% Chenin Blanc, from the original Huet vineyard. At nearly 9 hA, it has the richest soils of the domaine’s three crus—a deep limestone-clay—and while the wines are generally the estate’s most approachable, they do not lack elegance by any means.
Rich silky texture, ripe pineapples, a bit of cooked cream meet lemongrass and ginger and toasted nuts.
