Product description for Huet Le Mont Moelleux 1ère Trie 2018 (bio)

Wine Info

Perched above the estate’s tuffeau caves on the first south-facing Vouvray plateau is Le Mont, one of the appellation’s most prized vineyards, known for its history and long-lasting wines.

Vineyard Info

Nine hectares of pebbly flint soil and deep green clay provide a unique expression of the Chenin Blanc variety. Its terroir brings out intensity and minerality, as well as a refined structure, supported by beautiful acidity.

Color

Sparkling, dense golden yellow.

Nose

The 2018 Vouvray Le Mont 1ère Trie Moelleux offers aromas of dried apricots, orange zest, orange jam, quince, apple, white chocolate, and acacia honey. With a longer opening, immense fresh aromas of passion fruit and ginger emerge. Elegant, dense, and self-contained, this fascinating wine is at the very beginning of its development.

Palate

On the palate, just as on the nose, you can recognize the complexity and facets of this noble sweet wine. In addition to its sweetness, it offers a fresh acidity, a penetrating minerality, a gripping saltiness, and stimulating spiciness. The long finish not only indicates its fantastic aging potential, but also that it is only just at the very beginning of its prime. A gigantic wine, a carafe and large glasses, or a few more years of patience are required!

The 2018 Moelleux 1ére Trie Le Mont is such an elegant wine. Tangerine oil, orange marmalade, burnt sugar, ginger and passion fruit are all pushed forward. The 2018 is both flamboyant and also light on its feet. Its impeccable balance and alluring personality are impossible to resist.
