Domaine Huet
Clos du Bourg Première Trie Moelleux Vouvray Chenin Blanc
Such a baby. Bruised apples, lanolin, ginger, saffron, and amazing acid to balance the sugar.

Mar 27th, 2018Epic wine. One of the best dessert wines I've had in a long while, maybe ever. This wine has so much power: the densest Huet 1er trie I've ever tasted. It's as classic as it can get. Botrytis notes are on steroids here, all that beeswax, honey, quince, lemon curd goodness. Great, great wine...

Dec 13th, 2014Rich and honeyed, but with plenty of acidity, it is surprisingly dry, showing more like a demi-sec than a moelleux. That lack of apparent sweetness makes it more of a palate-cleansing digestif than a dessert in and of itself, but also gives it much more versatility for pairing with food.
