Vouvray

Expert reviews

Tasting notes from Wine Enthusiast

Even more concentrated than Huët's superb 2009 Première Trie, this is outstanding. It has both great concentration and elegance. The wine is touched by botrytis, while retaining freshness. Made from ripe, just shrivelling grapes, this is sweet Vouvray at its magnificent best.

— Domaine Huët 2009 Cuvée Constance 500ml (Vouvray) (99/100)

This will be a wonderful wine. Already, it is fine, with lovely acidity, bright and richly sweet at the same time. Yellow fruits mingle with honey, pear, almonds and the intense sweetness of botrytis.

— Domaine Huët 2010 Le Mont Première Trie Moelleux (Vouvray) (97/100)

A majestic, magisterial wine, powered by superripe fruit as well as honey and a gorgeous ripeness. With years ahead of it, this will be superb.

— Domaine Huët 2009 Clos du Bourg Première Trie Moelleux (Vouvray) (97/100)

A wine that just hints at its enormous future. It is opulent, rich, rounded, full of quince, spice, layers of honey and apricots. It is gorgeous without losing any freshness. Keep for seven years.

— Domaine Huët 2009 Clos du Bourg Moelleux (Vouvray) (95/100)

Première Trie means a wine from the first selection of grapes during harvest. This wine, now firmly closed up, as is expected with Chenin Blanc, is headed towards an opulent future, even though the fruit is kept firmly in check by the long-term aging potential.

— Domaine Huët 2006 Clos du Bourg Première Trie Moelleux (Vouvray) (95/100)
