WE LOVE IT BECAUSE:

"It is sweet, gentle and round. It fills the mouth with its sweet caress, exuding pure flavors of toffee apple, caramelized pear and pineapple. While sweet, it is less unctuous than you'd expect from many sweet wines from warmer sites due to the climate and soils, bringing a sense of cleanness and fine texture on the finish. That said, the lower acidity of this year means it's not quite as long and linear. A recent bottle of 2003 with similarly low acidity aged well, so I expect the same here."

Founded in 1928, the Huet estate now covers 35 hectares divided between three properties: Le Haut-Lieu, Le Mont, and Le Clos du Bourg. 15% of vines are between one and ten years old, 35% of vines are between ten and 30 years old and half are between 30 and 50 years old. Following the passing of second-generation owner Gaston Huet in 2002, day-to-day operations were under the full control of his son-in-law, Noël Pinguet, with whom he had worked hand-in-hand since 1971. That year, Anthony Hwang, a Filipino-born New York businessman, was brought into the partnership. Mr. Hwang and Mr. Pinguet continued to carry on Mr. Huet’s legacy until 2012 when Mr. Pinguet retired. Today, the winemaking and vineyard duties belong to Benjamin Joliveau, a Vouvray native who has trained closely with previous winemaker Jean-Bernard Berthomé as well as Noël Pinguet.

Perhaps the most respected name in Vouvray, Domaine Huet has been making wine of the highest quality for almost a century. Sweet or dry, still or sparkling, botrytis-affected or not, Chenin Blanc from Huet ages phenomenally.

Located on the France's Atlantic coast. The most recognizable wine of the Loire Valley is regionally labelled Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre. Dont let that overshadow coastal Muscadet Sevre Maine, it's coastal influence makes an idea pairing for seafood. Saumur and Touraine produce vibrant reds from Cabernet Franc as well as white's as bright as a coastal sunrise. Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc are the most planted varietals and can range from sweet to dry or even sparkling. The Loire is a magnificent wine region to explore.
