Description

Product description for Huet Le Haut-Lieu demi-sec 2017 (bio)

Christoph Raffelt: On the palate, the approximately 18 grams of sweetness are excellently buffered by the acidity. Despite its 13.5% alcohol content, the wine seems almost as floating as a Kabinett, and that’s fascinating. The Demi-sec is so juicy, so creamy, and at the same time so elegant, with finely chiseled acidity and a fresh minerality that, like all components in Huet’s wines, isn’t initially noticeable as an individual ingredient, but rather as part of the consistently harmonious overall composition. Here, too, you’re willing to keep pouring and quickly deplete any remaining supply, even though the wine naturally has great future potential.

Colour

Medium straw yellow

Nose

Like the dry Le Haut-Lieu, the Le Haut-Lieu demi-sec is an open, bright, fragrant wine whose aromas are reminiscent of Nashi pear and yellow apple pulp, acacia and orange blossoms, and a hint of honey. Yet even with this honey and the hint of sweetness, the wine is neither heavy nor opulent; rather, it appears prancing and light, yet at the same time full of character and serious.
