Huet
Vouvray Le Haut Lieu Sec 2001
Pear and apple nose leads to a very youthful, austere palate with plenty
of mineral character and good length. It will fatten in time and its
current style means that it’s not one for novices.

Vouvray Le Clos de Bourg Demi-sec 2001
Pear apple and marzipan on the nose whilst the beautiful off dry palate
shoes honey, flinty mineral and cream and good length.

A little yeast and cooked apple on the nose suggests some re-fermentation
in bottle but owner Noel Pinguet doesn’t seem fussed by it and perhaps
it’s because the other flavours on the palate are so attractive with
candied citrus peel and apricot and pear. Leave it alone for a few years
and I expect the best elements will win out.

Thought it was faulty at first but gradually it cleared as the very nutty
flavour lightened up and revealed some citrus and honey too.

Quite developed flavours with golden syrup and toffee rather than honeyed
citrus fruit. Good length.

Vouvray Le Mont Demi-Sec 1988
A real beauty at its peak now for me with classic wet wool nose and honey
and citrus with a touch of fudge suggesting maturity. Palate is off dry
but well balanced and has fascinating mineral character.

Vouvray Le Clos de Bourg Moelleux 1er Trie 1971
A cracker that has aged beautifully with honey and orange barley, rich
sweet fruit, mineral tones and good length. Still fresh enough to suggest
years of life.

A little earthy mushroom character on the nose but the fruit is there on
the plate with apricot and orange and some toffee too. How long it will
keep depends on how you like your wines. But I’d drink up.

Tasting mature now and showing a few too many wrinkles with mushroom and
toffee on the nose but attractive rich honey fruit on the palate with a
fresh finish. Some will love it though.

About half the standard pressure means this is light but refreshing and
easy to drink with nut cream and apple flavours.
