Huet Le Mont Moelleux 1er Trie 2018 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Loire
R1,150
'The 2018 Vouvray Le Mont Moelleux Première Trie is pure, deep and flinty on the concentrated nose, with very fine oak, toffee and potted ginger aromas. Lush, sweet and generous yet precise and crystalline on the palate, it features very fine tannins, lingering salinity and positive energy. This is a compact, persistent, tightly woven and stimulating Chenin from the Le Mont terroir that reveals firm, tensioned structure and a young finish with potential to improve and refine. Drink 2027 - 2065.' – Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, 95+/100
'The 2018 Moelleux 1ére Trie Le Mont is such an elegant wine. Tangerine oil, orange marmalade, burnt sugar, ginger and passion fruit are all pushed forward. The 2018 is both flamboyant and also light on its feet. Its impeccable balance and alluring personality are impossible to resist. Drink 2020 - 2030.' – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 95/100

| Producer information | Domaine Huet is the region's most famous producer. Known for their elegant, flinty style, the domaine's wines are amongst the finest and longest lasting white wines in the world. Produced from 3 vineyards in varying degrees of sweetness depending on the vintage, the hallmark of Huet's wines is their unmistakable freshness and natural acidity. Domaine Huet was established in 1928 and has been farmed biodynamically since 1990. Each of Huet's three iconic vineyards imparts a different signature to its wine. Le Haut-Lieu's deep limeston-clay soil produces wines that typically blossom early. Le Mont has less clay and more stone, yielding young wines of intense minerality. With age, Le Mont cuvées develop great length and finesse. And due to its extremely shallow, stony soils, Clos du Bourg often synthesizes Le Mont's intense minerality with Le Haut-Lieu's generous texture. |
