New Allocation From Domaine Huet has Arrived!
Domaine Huet, a name synonymous with quality and prestige, has been crafting exceptional Vouvray wines since 1928. Nestled in the heart of the Loire Valley, this iconic estate comprises three distinct vineyards: Le Haut-Lieu, Clos du Bourg, and Le Mont. Dedicated to biodynamic practices, Domaine Huet showcases the incredible potential of Chenin Blanc, producing a range of styles that capture the nuances of this noble grape.
Among their esteemed offerings, the Cuvée Constance stands out as a true gem. This legendary sweet wine, produced only in exceptional vintages, represents the pinnacle of Loire Valley winemaking. The 2015 vintage, hailed as one of the greatest for late-harvest Chenin Blanc in decades, has garnered a remarkable 98 points from The Wine Advocate.
Stephan Reinhardt eloquently describes this extraordinary wine:
“The orange coloured 2015 Vouvray Cuvée Constance displays a clear, fresh, pure and concentrated bouquet of dried apricots, quince, pumpernickel, honey, green fig chutney, orange tea, black chocolate with bitter orange and red pepper berries. On the palate, this is a vital, fresh, straight, pure, tightly woven and salty noble sweet wine with great, almost electric tension, finesse and vitality. The fruit is lush and dense, but the mineral grip and acidity are mind-blowing. This is many years away from being at its peak, but it’s another fascinating Cuvée de Constance. Tasted in March 2019.”
