Product description for Huet Le Mont Moelleux 1ère Trie 2017 (bio)

Sebastian Bordthäuser: On the palate, Le Mont Moelleux 1èr Trie is dense, with high viscosity and great complexity. With candied fruit, raisins, dried figs, and apple rings, the fruit seems to be in the foreground. The acidity is ripe, lively, and of the finest structure, operating like a computer program in the background. The tannins equip it with everything it needs for a long life. With firm pressure on the palate, it has a fresh drinking pull and immense tension, which accompanies it into the ambrosial finish with an epic aftertaste. This is one of the wines that established the worldwide reputation of the great, noble-sweet Vouvrays.

deep golden yellow

Nose

The 2017 Le Mont Moelleux 1ère Trie is a magnificent wine, and you notice it from the very first second. The fruit was harvested about a month earlier than usual, so there was little botrytis development. The wine is bursting with ripe pome fruit and some stone fruit, which becomes increasingly dominant with exposure to air. Ginger can be found here, as well as bitter oranges, a touch of honey, salted almonds, nougat, and pickled garden herbs. All of this is in flux, changing; for the wine leads a life of its own and continually reveals new facets.

Palate

The remarkable precision that runs through the entire vintage reaches its peak in this wine. The 65 grams of sweetness seem very lively and harmonious in the overall structure; the yellow fruit is ripe yet delicate. The phenolics provide substance, the texture is viscous, the acidity is lively, absolutely precise, and fine, penetrating and holding everything in suspense. The array of apricots and quinces, prunes and kumquats, blend with spices and salty notes to create a magnificent, long finish. All of this, of course, is just the beginning of a development that can be followed over the decades and will become increasingly impressive.
