About this Item
Founded in 1928 and known for their elegant, flinty style, Domaine Huets’ Vouvrays are amongst the longest lasting white wines in the world! Produced from 3 Chenin Blanc vineyards in varying degrees of sweetness depending on the vintage, the hallmark of Huet’s wines is their unmistakable freshness and natural acidity. Due to its extremely shallow, stony soils, Clos du Bourg often synthesizes Le Mont’s intense minerality with Le Haut-Lieu’s generous texture.

Critics Ratings
The 1976 is a fully mature sweet wine with beguiling complexity and freshness. It offers orange rind, apricot and peach, with toasted nuts, hints of coffee and slight honied depth. The finish is remarkably dry and elegant with the composure for further aging. Both delicious and profound. - 95/100 Roland Peens (2019)
