Color
Bright straw yellow, bright reflections
Nose
In typical Huet style, the Vouvray shows itself from its best side. Plenty of yellow fruits like khaki, mirabelle and apricot. Bread crust, buttered bread and freshly whipped cream. Almond seeds of stone fruit, almond slivers and marzipan discreetly push it into its pleasantly fruity-sweet corner. Salted caramel and printen provide that certain something extra. Saffron and turmeric give it a restrained oriental spiciness.
Palate
On the palate, it is lush and creamy. With a lot of pressure but a good balance, it shows true greatness. No sooner does it build up this melting framework than the acid sword cuts through it with feeling to break it down into its elements. Lots of unripe apple on the palate. Yet mealy and soft at the same time. The sweetness is quite restrained and in perfect harmony with the other characteristics. Nutty aromas and a multitude of oriental spices set the pace in the aftertaste.
