Description

Product description for Huet Cuvée Constance 2016 (bio)

Color

Bright, golden amber.

Nose

In 2016, the Cuvée Constance enchants with rich notes of honey, candied orange, sweet cassis, rhubarb, and passion fruit. With every breath, the complex and fascinating aroma changes, adding notes of Earl Grey tea, cardamom, and galangal. At the same time, delightful, fresh hints of lemon balm, nettle, and cassis leaf open up. This rarity is a true firework display!

Palate

This noble wine pours oily and complex onto the tongue, with beguiling freshness embedded in brilliant sweetness. The mid-palate is powerful and minerally salty, the drinkability is extremely stimulating thanks to the acidity and fine tannins, and the finish is long and stimulating. A fantastic elixir with great aging potential, but which also immediately invites you to dream and indulge – and to creative cuisine.

The orange/amber-colored Huet 2016 Vouvray Cuvée Constance opens with beautifully intense but also refined fruit reminiscent of pure raisins and ultra-ripe stone fruits and caramel notes intertwined with refreshing citrus fruit and some delicate peppery/spicy aromas. Silky, round and highly refined on the palate, this is a very intense, densely textured yet vibrantly fresh, saline and savory Chenin with very fine grained tannins and stimulating lemon bitters on the long, sustainable finish. The 2016 is another gorgeous Cuvée Constance, which is produced only in the very best vintages for noble sweet wines. 11.5% stated alcohol. 500-milliliter bottle. Natural cork. Tasted in April 2023.
