Understanding Domaine Huet, Vouvray, Cuvee Constance Moelleux, Loire

Cuvée Constance is crafted from hand-selected, botrytised Chenin Blanc grapes, harvested from the finest parcels across Domaine Huet's vineyards. The exceptional quality of grapes is a result of meticulous vineyard management, with a focus on achieving the perfect balance of noble rot for flavour and sugar concentration. Meticulous winemaking involves careful pressing and cold fermentation for fruit purity. This methodical approach, combined with the use of natural yeasts, enhances the wine's complexity and depth. The wine then ages in oak barrels, which imparts subtle nuances and a refined structure to the final product. Vouvray Cuvée Constance Moelleux features dried apricot, quince, honey and spice in a lusciously sweet, silky palate lifted by fresh acidity all closing in a long, satisfying finish. Its remarkable complexity and structure give it excellent cellaring potential.
