Description

Product description for Huet Le Mont Moelleux 1ère Trie 2018 (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.

Wine Information

Above the estate’s tuffeau caves on the first south-facing Vouvray plateau lies Le Mont, one of the most prized vineyards in the appellation, known for its history and long-lasting wines.

Vine Information

Nine hectares of pebbly flint soil and deep green clay provide a unique expression of the Chenin Blanc variety. Its terroir brings out intensity and minerality, as well as a refined structure, supported by beautiful acidity.

Colour

Sparkling, dense golden yellow.

Nose

The 2018 Vouvray Le Mont 1ère Trie Moelleux has aromas of dried apricots, orange zest, orange jam, quince, apple, white chocolate, and acacia honey. After a longer opening, immense, fresh aromas of passion fruit and ginger emerge. Elegant, dense, and self-contained, this fascinating wine is at the very beginning of its development.

Palate

On the palate, as on the nose, you can recognize the complexity and facets of this noble sweet wine. In addition to its sweetness, it offers a fresh acidity, a penetrating minerality, a gripping saltiness, and stimulating spiciness. The long finish not only indicates its fantastic aging potential, but also that it is only just at the very beginning of its prime. Gigantic substance, a carafe and large glasses, or a few more years of patience are required!

The 2018 Moelleux 1ére Trie Le Mont is such an elegant wine. Tangerine oil, orange marmalade, burnt sugar, ginger and passion fruit are all pushed forward. The 2018 is both flamboyant and also light on its feet. Its impeccable balance and alluring personality are impossible to resist.
