Domaine Huet Vouvray Le Haut Lieu Moelleux Premier Trie Chenin Blanc 2020

“The 2020 Le Haut Lieu Moelleux Première Trie is pretty gorgeous with its sweet embrace caressing the palate like a silky-smooth velouté. It sits calmly in the mouth, showing the typical fruit-forward character of the site, all oranges, chamomile and violets. The deeply satisfying finish provides the merest of grips, and fresh acid makes your mouth water. Already delicious in its youth, this wine has the concentration, acidity and sweetness to age gracefully, as Huet fans will know well.” 96 Points, Rebecca Gibb, Vinous Media

“The 2020 release opens with clear and concentrated but also lush fruit and floral and chalky aromas. Very elegant and even playful on the palate, with finely vivacious acidity, this full-bodied, silky Vouvray is beautiful in its terroir expression that favors a fruitier, fresher and more elegant style that is impossible not to like. I am totally fine with this style. The aging potential should be great.” 96 Points, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate Magazine

Widely considered to be the single greatest Vouvray Domaine and one of the foremost white wine producers in the world today. This walled vineyard is perhaps Vouvray’s most revered site. Home to some of the most powerful, long lived wines in Vouvray in both dry and sweet. With only a shallow top soil over solid tuffeau limestone, the vines almost immediately tap into the rich mineral bedrock, resulting in powerful, dense, yet very mineral and long-lived Chenin Blanc.
