Description

Product description for Huet Clos du Bourg Moelleux 1ère Trie 2016 (bio)

This complex interplay of aromas in the bouquet demands a first sip. Once you have it on your tongue, the joy of this wine is even greater. The Clos du Bourg Moelleux “Première Trie” may have the sweetest of the three “Première Trie” at 93 grams, but it also has the deepest minerality and the greatest depth. It is a great wine, still in its infancy, but already elegant and seductive, zesty in its aromas of citrus peel, salty with notes of stone and a hint of botrytis, juicy in its white and yellow-fleshed, complex fruit of peaches, quinces, papayas, yellow plums, oranges, and melons.

Colour

Rich golden yellow.

Nose

The nose of the 2016 Clos de Bourg Moelleux 1èr Trie from Domaine Huet is precisely differentiated. While the Moelleux wines of this vintage are predominantly botrytis-free, the influence of noble rot is charmingly present here. Honeycomb and beeswax form the spicy peak, followed by dried fruit such as dried pears and apple rings. Candied orange and lemon peel mingle with roasted, salted nuts, Montelimar nougat, and mild spicy notes of anise, saffron, and a leaf of light tobacco round out the epic nose.

Palate

On the palate, with gripping phenolics, it combines sweet fruit and viscosity with ripe, polished tannins, which give it its grandeur and easy drinking. A very upright wine, tightly structured, yet with a popular approach. Aromas of bergamot are reflected on the palate, the acidity is broadly spanned with a piquant vibration and is accompanied by mild spicy notes such as allspice and cloves into the epochal finish. Very, very sexy.
