Domaine Huet Vouvray Clos du Bourg Moelleux Première Trie

Amber coloured. Light caramel nose. Thick syrupy dessert style, light Xmas cake, well balanced sweetness. From their third vineyard Clos de Bourg.

Toujours aussi jubilatoire! Magique!

紅茶の様な香り ハチミツの様な甘味

An incredible experience with a dessert wine. Famed producer of chenin. Has sec and demi sec, sweeter end has Moelleux with 65 gms residual, made in good years. Moelleux means marrow, Clos de Burg is the best plot, this wine has fruits, preserves, nuttiness, honey, herbs, and vegetal elements. The acidity cuts sugar to size, it feels light footed, it isn't heavy like sauternes can be. Still fresh, very enticing. Best with aged cheese.

En af de bedste dessertvine jeg har smagt. Honning, nødder, abrikos. Perfekt balance mellem sødme og friskhed. Lækker lækker.

Absolutely outstanding! Yellow apple, chestnut, honey, almond, burnt butter. Full bodied, sweet, long finish. Delicious.

Baked apple, caramel, ginger

Dessert, sweet and smells good: mold, honey, sweet apricots

96/100. Persimmon, ripe pear, cinnamon apple, honeycomb, acacia, and hints of coffee and vanilla make up a complex bouquet. On the palate, ripe pear and apple and honey with some spice with perfect acidity and sweetness and a lingering finish.

Enjoyed in magnum. Great example of a well ageing wine this. A touch of oily caramel underpinned by vibrant acidity, it shows honeycomb and jam on the middle palate and a lovely texture and lengthy finish.

Why is Dom Huet so under-appreciated? Why do you have to sell a Rolex to buy a single bottle of Rousseau and yet I can grab this wonderful nectar at auction for £33? Waxy and appley with sweet chutney and ginger, and all but gloop free (Sauternes ™️). A perfect cheese wine. Maybe a little young.

Honey and apricots. Sweet on the attack, but very clean and without viscosity. Round and balanced.

A ciegas, nadie se ha acercado (éramos 5). Dulce del Loira con más de 15 años y muchos más por delante. Una bomba de miel con una tensión y una acidez única. Gran sorpresa.

Chenin blanc de Loira, espectacular y diferente. Color: amarillo dorado brillante. En nariz aparece el melocotón, y las flores blancas. Grandísimo aroma, que en boca explota en maravillas dulces, complejo, con notas de naranja que conjugan el dulce sin empalagar en algo diferente, mágico, maravilloso. Lo hemos catado a ciegas, y de 5 ninguno hemos acertado. Gran dulce que rompe los registros mentales.

Intense yellow colour. On the nose pungent with apples, honey and citrus. On the palate medium bodied, sweet and balanced with a lingering finish.

A complex wine, charming and balanced, fruty nose and palate of quince, honey and nuts. mineral to. Medium + acidity full bodied long pleasant finish. VIP

Botrytis, burned sugar, tropical fruit, developed nose Intensive taste with pineapples, tropical fruit, high acidity, the sweetness balanced the acidity.

A lovely fruity nose with a full body that is complex & lusciously sweet with a long aftertaste. It stood up to a fudge pie & two nights later went well with a lemon cake.

Just as good as the 2018 vintage but has developed more complexity - this is a great wine drinking well at 15 years, but still has a long way life left in it. Honey, apricot, melon, pineapple, ginger. Great balance between fruit and acidity.

Very rich-almost syrupy after this long. We bought this at the end of January, 2016, but just opened it today. It is delicious, but as another reviewer noted, it’s more like a dessert wine at this point. It has a honeyed texture and a pear/apricot flavor that is pretty sweet. There is a nice tang of apple at the end that stays with you.

honey apricot pineapple ginger peach caramel tropical citrus lychee dried apricot honeycomb mushroomDeep gold color. Enticing nose of honey, butterscotch, and hazelnuts with baked apple and dried apricot. The palate shows wonderful concentration with sun-ripened stone fruits, lychee, and candied ginger, balanced by bright acidity. Long, honeyed finish. A beautiful mature Vouvray showing both richness and elegance.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Now we are talking. One of the greatest sweet wine of the world. To think this is a real baby at 20 years is incredible. Also, I remember vividly being in France in 2003 and to produce something like this with such balance in that year is incredible. Chapeau. Wax, lanoline, Cotton candy, apricot, honey, you get the point

4.4. 2003. Mama mia, take my money. Intense with botrytis, baked apples, apricots and honeycomb, balanced with fresh notes of melon, citrus, and minerals. Light bitternes. Super fresh but lucious. Amazing. Some of the best sweet wine there is !

Apricot hue - nose of honey, peach and chamomile - dried Turkish apricots. Viscous mouthfeel, m+ acidity masked by the RS. Dried mango dominates the palate, honey spiced apricots, candied pineapple. Treat from Brad

Outrageous chenin. Smells of apple pie with cinnamon. The nose develops into quince, honey comb, vanilla, and an almost fennelly waxy vegetal greeness. Spicy honeyed and rich and opulent while still lively fresh and balanced. One of the best sweet wines ive ever had. 96

Sorry, no detailed notes, but this was a stunning, sweet Chenin-based wine that could be enjoyed with a meal, with a light dessert, or on its own (which is how we drank it). My brother accidentally opened it not knowing it was sweet, and so we had to drink it up at the end of the night. Nice excuse to pop a bottle! Lots of rich stone and apple with notes of honey and saffron.

Mind bogglingly intense nose of botrytis, baked apples, apricots and honeycomb. Then a fresh after-note of melon, citrus, crushed herbs and minerals and just the slightest hint of tokaji-like acetone. On the palate it is sweet and lightly bitter and Sauternes-like fatty. Really amazing. 95-97p.

Very nice sweet Chenin from Huet, at Paulée d’Anjou, we visited the domaine a few days later. One of the early adopters of biodynamics. This is from raisinated grapes hand-picked in passes from a walled 6ha vineyard, thin stony clay limestone over deep limestone. Medium gold. Dried pear, quince paste, honeycomb, candied orange zest and ginger. Full bodied, sweetness balanced by high acidity, 12% alcohol. Lighter than Sauternes, ~60g/l RS.

Holy crap, I didn't see this coming. Very clear, straw color. Crisp mildly sweet wine, with plenty of complexity. mostly honey, green grapes, pear, and golden raisins. Fantastic wine. Easy drinker, not overly sweet, but I also had it quite young. Deeper flavors than most Rieslings, and flavor profile is sauternes-esque, but less of everything except acid. Overall, yum.

The fifth and final wine during our pairing dinner in Charleston, and the surprise of the night—I thought this sweet dessert wine was fantastic. Honey and candy apple notes with a hint of raisin. Just a delicious taste. A great way to wrap up dinner, paired with deconstructed tres leches with honeycomb and young coconut. 7.30.21

🎯94/100 pts 4.3 ⭐️ 👍🏼 Continue with my TN from Domaine Huet. 🏰 The vineyard Clos du Bourg was acquired in 1953 and is one of the oldest Vouvrillon vineyards. Located above the church of Vouvray and surrounded by an ancient stone wall dating from the ninth century, this plot of six hectares is one of the first wines of the appellation. Its shallow soil is composed of clay and limestone. The wines of Clos du Bourg are deep and dense and also prove to be excellent wines. ⤵️ ... continue in c

Deep yellow on the glass, medium intensity nose that shows melon, honey and botrytis characteristics. On the palate, more melon, honey, orange peel and hints of minerals and stone. Has good mouth feel. Sweet and and long finish. Very good Demi-sec chenin Blanc.

Woaw quelle équilibre ! Bouteille tout en plaisir, finale longue tout en plaisir, 2008 millésime magique en Loire blanc, grand vin.

Une robe ambrée. Un nez très expressif (mangue, ananas). La bouche est gourmande et sucrée, sans lourdeur, et très longue. Superbe !

Une robe jaune dorée éclatante Explosion d’arômes de fruits jaunes à noyau Excellent et encore très jeune, j’adore mais bcp de sucres

Yummy! Golden raisins, apricots, pineapple, well balanced, gentle botrytis, great dessert sipper.

pronounced tropical fruits pineapple melon citrus fruit and honey, sweet and elegant, balanced and enjoyable.

Dark straw colour. Closed nose with a hint of pear. Delicate flowery palate that evolves with lychee, pineapple and honey.

Wowww, this chenin blanc is taste like white grape raisin, honey, very balance and great sweet wine.

Excelente vino de postre! De color amarillo pajizo, con aroma fresco de vino, tonos de frutas maduras y minerales y un sabor sorprendentemente fresco y armonioso, fondo de tonos minerales y matices frutales...

Wonderful. Honey. Sweetness balanced with acidity

Vibrant hue, medium weight, melon and honey flavours from a Chenin blanc

One of my favorite dessert wines.

Not overly sweet, nice honey, fig

Outstanding balance between fruit, acidity and sweetness. Young at age 12. Elegant, exotic.

My rating 4,3 . Cc

Light floral apricot, acidic finish

Daughter's 18th Birthday #5 Un grand chenin moelleux, avec une tarte tatin pour finir cette belle soiree. Robe cuivrée Nez élégant coing poire abricots secs. En bouche un grand équilibre (on se rapproche du nieveau d ela grande cuvée constance),un vin très serein, jamais lourd malgré le sucre résiduel. Je pense qu un carafage aurait peut etre été judicieux pour le l aisser s exprimer encore plus.

@Losier ディケムのような味わいで とってもおいしかった

Honey, apricots. Clean and almost an ice wine smell in its linearity. Light mouthfeel with honied nuts and depth of complexity. Candied apricot. Good acidity to balance the sugar. Really smooth.

Amber. Dried apricot, walnut, orange zest, tropical (dried mango, dried papaya). Sweet, caramel, smoke, butterscotch. Full body, medium-high acid, long dried fruit finish. Delicious, nuanced.

Our 4th bottle contribution to dinner last night. Props to Simon for calling Chenin on this. Interestingly we had the same vintage 2015 Le Mont just 2weeks ago at Robuchon Au Dome in Macau. Same vintage, same maker, different plot. Sweet honey and apricot, some candied pineapple, high acidity. We brought this as a sweet ending to pair with Wei’s homemade Pineapple 🍍 tarts~ 😋

Big tension and freshness, only Chenin can give this incredible mix.Pineapple, pear, yellow pit fruits... not long as expected but it's too young. Drink on a butter sugar crepe @ chez colette s with Craig

Grand Tasting 11/2022 Couleur or limpide et éclatant Nez sur l’ananas rôti avec du miel Bouche longue et droite pas trop sucrée

Lovely stuff!!! Mamma mia

17 Bouchon court imbibé à 40%, niveau à 2cm. Robe or cuivrée. Nez acidulé et intense de bergamote, abricot, coing. Attaque sapide, fraîche, minérale, sur les fruits jaunes, la bergamote. Grande fraîcheur qui porte le vin tout du long. Grande buvabilité. Très longue finale sur la bergamote, puis le caramel. Manque un peu de liqueur (environ 80g). Pas très complexe, mais d’un équilibre et d’une longueur incroyable. À boire.

First bottle of the case, mold was not a good sign when the foil was removed, luckily it was just 20% of the cork, the wine was not affected. The colour was beautiful Amber, honey, apricot, balanced sweetness, in a nice drinking window now. Cheers.

A sweet symphony of honey, ginger, apricot and tropical delights of melon and pineapple, harmoniously fused with fudge notes. This charming Loire Valley gem, traditionally crafted from Chenin Blanc grapes, proved a fine match to petit fours, gracing the palate with a velvety experience. Exhibiting a promising longevity, it's one to savor now or age for an encore. Cheers to sweet excellence!

C'est toujours très qualitatif. Excellent sur l'équilibre entre l'acidité et le sucre On sent le terroir et le chenin c'est très bien fait

シュナブラン。デザートワインだけど、甘いだけでなくキレがある。

Excellent! A touch more sweet than off-dry but not in the realm of dessert. Honey, ginger, yellow apples, peach. Quite mineral. Great mouthfeel.

delicious treat with pulut hitam and ice cream / notes of quince apricot peach orange blossom honeysuckle minerals dried apricot wax raisin / nice complexity, intensity of flavors, depth and a long finish / more please

Very aromatic, with wild flower honey, baked apple, toffee, light touch of botrytis, saffron. I would prefer a bit more acidity for the sugar level

Good for a dessert wine - but way too sweet for my taste. honey apricot white grape juice
