2018 Vouvray, Clos du Bourg Sec, Domaine Huet (6 x Bottle)
The 2018 Vouvray Clos du Bourg Sec is the only dry Chenin produced at Huet that year. Tasted in May 2019, the Clos du Bourg opens with a delicate nose of white fruit and mirabelle plums, along with chalky and very fine sur-lie notes. The palate is intense, round and fruity but filigreed in its structure and persistent in its mineral grip and stimulating salinity. The yeasty texture gives this 13.5% alcohol Chenin a fine structure and mouthfeel. It's not very long or complex, but it's charming and pleasant to drink even young.

Vinous
From one of the appellation’s great vineyards. With 4 grams per liter of residual sugar, it’s actually dry and not just “Vouvray dry.” Ripe pear, quince, fresh mint, and lime zest throughout. It’s got relatively gentle acidity, but there’s a solid stony mineral core. Open and ready to drink, but with some complexity.
