2022 Domaine Huet, Vouvray, Le Mont Demi Sec

Founded in 1928, Domaine Huet is an iconic estate located in the heart of the Vouvray appellation and has been a pioneer in biodynamic farming since 1990. Their Le Mont vineyard is a historic, nine-hectare site characterized by cool, green-tinged clay soils mixed with flint and mica, which are planted entirely with Chenin Blanc. This wine reveals a distinct mineral drive and tension, offering layered notes of orchard fruit, beeswax, and white tea across a finely textured palate. The 2022 growing season was marked by warm, dry weather, resulting in a gentle, accessible vintage with enough ripeness to provide generous fruit character. Built with a solid structural core and balanced acidity, this wine is ready to enjoy tonight but possesses the poise to develop well in the cellar for years to come.
