Domaine Huet
Le Haut-Lieu Demi-Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc
Love the demi-sec style—paired beautifully with a fresh produce-forward dinner. Lots of peach and apricot, honey, pronounced lime pith, fresh flowers and grass, and plentiful acid, stone and a sort of savory bitterness that balances the RS

Sep 20th, 2023Maybe I should have drunk this '07 earlier or later? Deep gold with a slightly ruddy/brown tinge. Noticably sweet but no botrytis signature that I could detect. Nose is fully mature with bruised apple, quince fruit notes. It seemed a bit simple, so not sure if this bottle was a bit oxygen touched or needed more time.
