Description

Product description for Huet Clos du Bourg Moelleux 1ère Trie 2018 (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 becomes 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.

Information on the vineyard

The Clos du Bourg is one of the oldest Grand Cru parcels in France, consisting of shallow clay soils with limestone in the subsoil. The flowing Loire River gently feeds the vines with morning dew, and the southern exposure helps them capture bright sunlight, which is very important for the ripening of Chenin.

Colour

Sparkling, dense golden yellow.

Nose

The 2018 Vouvray Le Clos de Bourg 1ère Trie Moelleux is characterized by an impressive and dense minerality, which makes it seem a little closed. After a longer opening, aromas of quince, quince jelly, orange, orange zest, baked apple, acacia honey, and caramel emerge, accompanied by notes reminiscent of cinnamon and white chocolate. Delicate hints of fresh ginger, acacia, and elderflower are also detectable and beautifully round off the complex aromas.

Palate

Silky and sweet, it glides over the tongue. Its acidity gives it a refreshing touch, its fine tannins and salty notes contribute incredible precision, and a taste of freshly cooked applesauce emerges. It never feels filling or even sweet, but rather stimulating and seductive, even incredibly invigorating. It is at the very beginning of its development and will continue to develop magnificently over the coming years. If you want to enjoy it now, decant it if possible and drink it from a larger glass, not too chilled.
