Domaine Huet

Clos du Bourg Demi-Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2014

Dark straw in color. Nectar and honey on the nose. A delicious semi-sweet wine with apricot, honey, cinnamon, pear, and candied peach on the palate. High acid, medium body, and a long finish. Eleven years on and drinking beautifully. — a day ago

Le Mont Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2023

Olga Raffault

Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc 2017

Wine 1, with rack of lamb. As my drinking history shows, Raffault is a perennial favorite. 2017 is easy access with medium weight, wild red berry fruit, tomato leaf, and earth. Drink over the next five years. Holding ‘09, ‘14, ‘15, and ‘18 with patience. — a month ago

Domaine Le Peu de la Moriette Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2019

ESF
9.2

See note from 2015 - this had more pronounced citrus & white flowers on the nose, still oily & viscous, some herbal on palate, citrus pith, tropical fruit, vaguely Condrieu-esque, fascinating wine, lovely expression of Chenin. Has stuffing for another 5 yrs. Sec Tendre — 21 days ago

Domaine Huet

Le Mont Demi-Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc

Beautifully balanced pairing well with moderately spicy Indian food. Drunk, January 2025, still has room for improvement. $47 purchased at the end of 2020. — a month ago
