Despite historical drought, Jean-Bernard Berthomé achieved his fifth outstanding vintage in succession in 2019. This time, however, the vintage collection from Domaine Huet on the Loire consists of only four wines. One dry (Sec) wine each from the three terroirs Le Haut-Lieu, Clos de Bourg and Le Mont; as well as a medium-dry (Demi-Sec) wine from the vineyard site Le Mont.

„… liquid monuments to masterful vineyard work“
Stephan Reinhardt on the 2019 vintage at Huet
Stephan Reinhardt, wine critic for the renowned Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, describes the 2019s from Huet as „liquid monuments to masterful vineyard work“ and „perhaps the finest dry Vouvrays in recent history“.
And so Reinhardt characterises the wines in his column in the FAZ am Sonntag:
Clos de Bourg Sec 2019
Rich, intense and powerful. Juicy and sustainably structured.
Le Mont Demi-Sec 2019
Off-dry fruit, enveloped in chalky texture, fine tannins and piquant, nervy acidity
