Presented to me double-blind. The wine appears a deep burnished golden color with medium+ viscosity. Notes of baked apples, white flowers, chamomile minerals and a petrol thing. On the palate, medium+ acid. Confirming the fruit but the apples are spiced and there’s a slightly nutty, oxidized thing going. Alcohol seems elevated too. Loads of character. The color and oxidization suggested it was a combo of style and age; I figured 10-15 years. I vacillated between Alsatian Riesling GC or a Chenin from the Loire by a great producer. Ultimately, I called 2010 Savennières as it actually reminded me of Joly’s “Clos de la Bergerie”. LOL! Close!!! These Huet Sec’s age amazing 🥲. — 7 days ago

Asian pear and lemon. High acidity. Very good wine that paired well with a variety of dishes. — 2 days ago

Tried twice! From a warm vintage, medium lemon color with aromas of white fruits and wet stone aromas. On the palate flavors of ripe apple & peach, very complex, lively acidity. Long finish ending with mineral and sweet honey character, should age well, but great now! — 8 days ago

Fleshy apricot and baked apple, coursing with salty mineral and savory undertones. Barely off-dry in this vintage, but quite rich. Probably better to revisit in a couple years. — 15 days ago

If there is a better match in this world for lobster than aged Chenin, I haven’t found it yet. This off-dry wine has tremendous pretty florals as it opens. Some nice minerals and just enough acid to keep it interesting. — 11 days ago

One of the best chenin blancs I can recall having. Just a joyful wine - at least if you like loads of acid with great character and body (as I do). Simply delicious. — 10 days ago

Interesting. Dried fruits, dried honey, mildly floral. Terroir driven overall. Seems like it should be sweet but no. — 11 days ago
