Probierpaket Huet 3 Lagen trocken 2022 4500ml

Wine description for Tasting Package Huet 3 Lagen trocken 2022 4500ml from Tasting Package

This tasting package offers a fascinating horizontal tour through the three monopole vineyards of the legendary Domaine Huet - a masterclass in Chenin Blanc and terroir expression from Vouvray. The 2022 vintage presents itself with the crystalline clarity and precision that can be expected from this exceptional biodynamically farmed estate.

Colour & appearance

All three wines have a light, bright straw yellow colour with greenish reflections - typical of young, dry Chenin Blanc. The brilliance in the glass promises freshness and vitality.

Nose

The Le Haut-Lieu sec opens with delicate apple blossoms, white peaches and a fine herbal flavour. The Le Mont sec is somewhat more reserved, but with more mineral depth - wet stones, quince and citrus peel. The Clos du Bourg sec is the most powerful of the three: concentrated yellow fruit, honeydew melon, a hint of beeswax and that smoky minerality reminiscent of flint.

Palate

This is where the true greatness of these wines is revealed. Le Haut-Lieu is characterised by elegance and drinkability, a silky texture and lively acidity. Le Mont is tighter, with more tension and salty minerality - a wine that needs time to open up. The Clos du Bourg combines power with finesse: denser, more structured, with impressive length and that vibrant energy level that Gaston Huet once described as „nervosité“. All three wines end with remarkable precision and a finish that lingers for minutes.

General information

Domaine Huet has stood for uncompromising quality since 1928. Under the management of Sarah Hwang and her team, the 35 hectares are cultivated according to Biodyvin guidelines. Each of the three vineyards tells its own story from the tufa terraces of the Loire.

Food pairing suggestions

Le Haut-Lieu harmonises wonderfully with Goat cheese, Scallops or Poultry salad. Le Mont goes perfectly with Oysters, Sushi or steamed sea fish. The Clos du Bourg tolerates stronger dishes such as Sweetbreads, Turbot in butter sauce or matured Comté.

Special features

A rare opportunity to experience three monopole vineyards of a world-class winery in direct comparison - terroir study in its purest form.
