Description Vouvray Moelleux 1ère Trie "Clos du Bourg"

Estate

Domaine Huet, established in 1928, is a benchmark estate in Vouvray. It is renowned for its pioneering biodynamic practices and consistent quality. With precise vineyard management, the domaine has elevated Chenin Blanc into a world-class varietal. Its commitment to biodynamics enhances terroir expression. The estate enjoys international acclaim and strong critical recognition.

Vineyard

Located in the Touraine region, on the right bank of the Loire, the vineyard lies on clay-limestone and tuffeau soils. The temperate continental climate supports gradual Chenin ripening. Grapes come from key parcels of the estate. The vineyard is certified biodynamic. The mature vines bring depth and balance to the final wine.

Wine

This dry Vouvray white showcases the richness of Chenin on great terroir. It conveys the mineral profile typical of the appellation with notable precision. The wine displays fine tension and controlled freshness. Praised for its aromatic purity and aging potential. Revue du Vin de France awarded it 93 points, recognizing its high quality.

Vintage

The 2006 vintage experienced mixed weather and an early harvest. Favorable conditions at picking allowed optimum phenolic ripeness. The wines combine freshness with complexity. Structured, with well-preserved acidity. This Vouvray develops nicely with age while retaining vitality.

Vinification & Aging

The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted. Fermentation occurs in old wooden vats with native yeasts. Aging continues on fine lees for several months. Minimal sulfur and a non-interventionist approach ensure true vintage expression. Malolactic fermentation is avoided to preserve acidity.
