Producer Profile

Huet

The biodynamic Huet estate comprises three key terroirs with clearly identifiable personalities … it is justly regarded as the leading property in the Vouvray region. CLIVE COATES MW, The Great Wines of France

No matter what the vintage or the wine style (including sparkling), the quality [chez Domaine Huet] is always extraordinary and clearly reflects the excellence of their terroirs. The chiseled, contoured mouthfeel and precise minerality are unique in the Loire. La Revue du Vin de France

Under Noel Pinguet, who retired in 2012, this was considered, along with its neighbor Foreau, one of the two iconic estates in Vouvray. Sarah, like her father, is an American of Chinese descent. While there has understandably been a great deal of speculation about what will happen to such a unique property under foreign ownership, I see little cause for concern. Quite the contrary. Sarah’s father bought into the estate over ten years ago following Gaston Huet’s death in 2002 at the age of 92, and has nursed it gently from strength to strength via investments. No one here has better vineyards. JOEL B. PAYNE, Vinous Media

The Domaine Huet in Vouvray is one of the few world class producers in the Loire Valley. Its reputation was built by 1910-born Gaston Huet and the Le Haut Lieu, a top single vineyard site that was bought by his parents in 1928 with three hectares under vines, all Chenin Blanc. STEPHAN REINHARDT

Huet / Loire / France / Chenin Blanc / 2009

Quince and white peach preserves fill the nose caressingly coat the palate from Huet's 2009 Vouvray Moelleux Clos du Bourg, which displays a combination of lift and delicacy with its honeyed richness that none of the present collection tasted up until this point approach. Here are brightness, energy, and efficacious acids driving the quince, pineapple, seamlessly forward. Here, too are mineral nuances too often missing from the sweet Vouvray and Montlouis of this vintage. Expect this superbly persistent bottling to be worth following for a quarter century. DAVID SCHILDKNECHT, Wine Advocate

Residual sugar 55.5 g/l, alcohol 12.5%, and the total acidity is 5.12 g/l. Very light and elegant style on the nose here, refined and reserved. A very seductive style on the palate though, supple and with a very polished yellow plum and stone fruit character. Lightly honeyed, very mellifluous but in a light, ethereal fashion rather than anything hedonistic. Very appealing and showing only its baby fat at the moment. There should be fine development here though as the balance and depth of structure and grip is delightful. CHRIS KISSACK, The Wine Doctor
