A moelleux of rare complexity, from the legendary Domaine Huet.
Vouvray Moelleux Le Haut-Lieu 2022 – Domaine Huet
An emblematic expression of the expertise of Domaine Huet, this cuvée from Le Haut-Lieu embodies the masterful balance that Chenin blanc can achieve on the great terroirs of Vouvray. A historic parcel of the estate, Le Haut-Lieu rests on deep clay-limestone soils that offer wines an ample texture, perfectly integrated sweetness and remarkable aromatic finesse.
The 2022 vintage, generous and luminous, has given rise to a moelleux of great purity. The nose evokes candied yellow fruits, poached pear, fresh quince, with a touch of acacia honey and white flowers. On the palate, the sweetness is intense but carried by crystalline acidity, the estate's signature, which extends the wine into a long, vibrant, almost ethereal finish.
Domaine Huet, the absolute reference of the appellation, has been working in biodynamics for decades, and this is felt in the precision, density and vitality of each cuvée. This 2022 moelleux offers an exemplary balance between indulgence and freshness, capable of accompanying foie gras sautéed, almond pear tart, or delicate blue cheese.
Exceptional ageing potential: 20 years and beyond for patient collectors, with progressive development towards notes of marmalade, soft spices and beeswax.
Grape variety: 100% Chenin blanc
