Understanding Domaine Huet, Vouvray, Clos Bourg Moelleux Premiere Trie, Loire
The Clos du Bourg vineyard features pebbly limestone and clay soils, which impart a distinct minerality. This vineyard's microclimate, marked by a harmonious blend of sunlight and moderated temperatures, is crucial in developing the grapes' exquisite flavour balance. Domaine Huet implements organic and biodynamic practices. The Chenin Blanc grapes often develop noble rot (botrytis) that contributes to the wine’s rich flavours and sweetness. The winemaking process includes gentle pressing and fermentation with natural yeasts. Fermentation is halted at a strategic point, to retain a higher sugar level. The wine then matures in oak, adding layers of complexity and finesse. Vouvray Clos Bourg Moelleux Première Trie Huet displays ripe stone fruit, florals and honey hints balanced by vibrant acidity and minerality. This wine has the capacity for graceful ageing.
