Domaine Huet

Clos du Bourg Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2021

More complexity bang-for-the-buck than any white I’ve recently had. Fresh balance of floral and chalk with hints of white and melony fruit seeping through the immediate acidity. 3-4 years will pay off huge though at this price hard to resist. — a month ago

Les Tuffeaux Montlouis-sur-Loire Chenin Blanc 2020

Demo-sec. Pineapple, honey, lemon rind. Not what I usually look for in Chenin, but this is undeniably a good wine. Elegant, full, and with a finish that just won’t quit. — 5 days ago

Love old Vouvray! Put this in your cellar and enjoy it after aging if you can resist drinking it. — a month ago

Delaille Cheverny White Blend 2005

9.0

Surprisingly good SB apparently with a bit of Chardonnay for its age. Thought might be over the hill but it’s lively and acidic with mineral notes with hints of spice and stood up to and played well with dark sourced pork! — 19 days ago
