Domaine Huet Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Sec 2019
BIO
Stephan Reinhardt vom Wineadvocate:
"After 2018. 2019 is another qualitatively great vintage for Huet. even though the series includes only four wines. If you are a collector. you shouldn't miss the 2019s. but hurry up. quantities are much less generous than in 2018."
Verkostungsnotiz von Stephan Reinhardt für den Domaine Huet Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Sec 2019 vom 23.07.2020
The deep brown clay soils of the Haut-Lieu plateau provide the typical fruitiness and freshness wonderfully in Huet's 2019 Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Sec. Ripe pear. tangerine and orange fruits with notes of lemon grass and green pimientos intertwined with very fine chalky and later tobacco notes give a remarkably fine. elegant and harmonious. subtly complex and simply gorgeous bouquet with floral (lime blossom!) and yeasty aromas that are immediately attractive. Delicate and linear on the palate. this is a pure. fresh. bone-dry. lean and textured. highly refined and perfectly interwoven Chenin with persistent purity. finesse. salty-mineral tension and very fine tannins. Highly finessed and so pure and vivacious! This is a chalky picture-book Haut-Lieu that can age for many years. even though it is already dangerously seductive! There was no dry Le Haut-Lieu produced in 2018. but the 2019 is possibly the finest. most delicate and elegant I've had in recent years. at least at this early stage. A terrific and buoyant Vouvray that any Chenin lover should try—or. better yet. cellar! 13% alcohol. 80.000 bottles made. Tasted in July 2020.
