Color
Pale yellow with light green reflections and silver tapered rim.
Nose
The nose of the 2009 Le Mont Moelleux from Domaine Huet is still strongly marked by youthful fruit. Yellow pears, small quinces and dried apricots make the yellow fruity start, in the top note a trace of orange blossom water, followed by white peach blossom. Some wool mixes with candyfloss, slightly spicy notes of chervil with an ethereal overtone waft pleasantly warm from the glass, all underpinned by the typical Silex minerality of the site. Youthful and plump, the 2009 Le Mont Moelleux presents itself at the moment and announces a long life.
Mouth
On the palate, the wine is monstrously textured, firm and closed with immense inner tension. The sweetness is perfectly balanced and remains in the gustatory background with fine understatement. Like a locomotive, the wine pushes full speed ahead Its minerality gives it pressure and whips it across the palate. A wine with a high vibration that makes it seem almost electric. Mineral, fine fruity finish with excellent length. Who would like to enjoy him now should caraffieren him at least half a day and put on the windowsill and enjoy from big white wine glasses.
