Le Mont Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc

Somewhat riper than expected but still fresh and racy, crystalline acidity with tropical fruit, honeysuckle, bruised apple, petrol and cheese rind notes adding interest. And the color is stunning

again delicious 5 months after the last one. honey and stone and a touch of beeswax. Will be sorry if this is my last 2017.

Still my favorite of the Huet Sec wines. And a steal at the price.

Amazing. Honey, waxy, almost abrasive fresh flowers (in an amazing way) hay, wet wool, mandarin orange, spice, medium plus bodied and unbelievable acidity. WOW.

God these are such beautiful wines. Floral beyond belief, with such a precise, finely woven tapestry of a bouquet. Settles and spreads on the tongue like molten taffy, ever so subtle rs cloaked in vigorous minerality and a great swath of satsuma mandarin and yellow peach acids.

This wine is a winner. Perfect balance at a young age. Somewhere between a Viognier and a Chardonnay in mouthfeel and texture. Good acidity and a long and enjoyable finish. Highly recommended! Cheers everyone!

A bit sweet. Not bad. Not great.

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 🥲.

More evolved than I remember but delicious as always
