Info

Unlike the other two sites Le Haut-Lieu and Clos de Bourg of Domaine Huet, Le Mont offers flint as a base. What all three vineyards have in common is the loamy subsoil. Le Mont is exposed to the south and extends over nine hectares.

Flint, also known as silex, is one of the Loire's unique selling points, providing excellent conditions for both Chenin blanc and Sauvignon blanc.

Color

Bright golden yellow, light reflexes

Nose

The first nose seems shy vineyard peach paired with lemon zest. A discreetly ethereal tone suggests eucalyptus. Above all, a stony component dominates, which also spreads unhindered with increasing oxygenation. In the further course some grapefruit develops as well as slightly smoky hints.

Palate

Subtle and linear, Le Mont opens a haptic firework. A delicate acid construct hits the nerve with pinpoint accuracy like a laser. Elegant and juicy, but with reverent restraint, it reveals its great potential. The citrus aromas from the nose emerge again, now paired with bitter tones. A delicate tannin makes itself felt and makes the Le Mont mouth-fillingly bigger and bigger. The flint minerality is not as sparse as the neighbouring wines on limestone, but more powerful. At the same time, to my great delight, it seems lemony-salty.

This wine still leaves a lot to be expected.
