Huet 2025 Vouvray Haut Lieu Moelleux 1èr Trie

Le Haut Lieu is the historical, and largest, site of Domaine Huet. A bit more than 9 hectares, slightly higher on the plateau and further from the Loire, the vines are grown on a darker clay with some eolian sands.  Le Haut Lieu tends to give the earlier drinking  version of the 3 sites, but the deeper clay soils impart great richness and ageability as well.  "The 2025 Le Haut Lieu Moelleux 1èr Trie: 10.5% alcohol; 119 g/l RS; 5.3 gr/l total acidity. "The 2025 Le Haut Lieu Moelleux 1ère Trie is indeed a simply stunning young wine, offering up a deep and complex bouquet of sweet quince, apricot, tangerine, chalky soil tones, heather, dried flowers and a topnote of clover honey. On the palate the wine is deep, pure, complex and beautifully endowed with sweet chenin fruit at the core, with a gorgeous girdle of acidity, a great base of soil, great focus and grip and a very, very long, complex and seamlessly balanced finish. This is indeed a legend in the making!" - VFTC
