Gaston Huet
Gaston
Huet and his wife built up a domaine with a formidable reputation over
the years following its creation by Victor Huet, his father, in 1928.
Gaston, war hero and one-time mayor of Vouvray, managed the family
domaine from 1947 until his death in 2002. He was a prisoner for most of the
Second World War and longed for his home and for the taste of his Vouvray. He
managed to arrange a special wine celebration in the POW camp. "It saved our
sanity . . . Talking about wine and sharing it made all of us feel closer to
home and more alive. It was only a thimbleful but it was glorious and the best
wine I ever drank."
The domaine is now run by Noel Pinguet, Gaston's son-in-law. Biodynamic techniques have been used at all of Domaine Huet's vineyards since 1990. A select range of Sec, Demi Sec and Moelleux Vouvrays are produced from the domaine's 3 vineyards; Le Haut Lieu, Le Mont and Clos de Bourg. No malolactic fermentation and no new oak are used in the maturation process with the aim being to retain the freshness and purity of the fruit.

Sandy, lime-stones and clay soils underpin this scintillating wine, which compared to the weightier Clos du Bourg, seems more perfumed and ethereal. The nose pings with piercing lime flower notes, while the off-dry (9 grams RS) palate whistles through with a puckering lemon zestiness at a near ... MORE BBR Score: 20/20 | ||||

From this excellent vintage for dry Chenin Blanc, a tangerine-dream of a wine that builds on a prime chalky vineyard location, vinified in a mix of cement cuves and old french oak, to give a zesty, orange blossom wine riven with immense purity, minerality and life, thanks surely to the application ...

This 1996 Vouvray Le Mont Moelleux is a mesh of orange, lime peel, straw, brioche and hay even; on the palate the wine's 67 grams of residual sugar is sublimely integrated, balanced out by scintillatingly pure, another dead-ringer for Sauternes surely; one of the Loire's very best without a doubt. ...
