Huet - Vouvray Moelleux Le Mont 2020

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

The 2020 Le Mont Moelleux is a slightly bigger and sweeter wine than the Le Haut Lieu version, with more of a primary personality out of the blocks, but stunning depth and length. The bouquet is quite youthful, but eventually can be coaxed into offering up scents of sweet quince, apple, a lovely base of chalky soil, honeycomb, incipient notes of barley sugar, orange zest and a floral topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and almost plush on the attack, with bottomless depth at the core, great acids and mineral drive, impeccable balance and a long, focused and still very youthful finish. Whereas the 2020 Le Haut Lieu Moelleux is going to drink stunningly well for a couple of years, before it closes down, the Le Mont Moelleux is such a puppy out of the blocks that it is going to be best to just tuck it away for a decade in the cellar and then see if the fireworks have started yet! (Drink between 2030-2100)

"The 2020 Le Mont Demi-Sec shares the same stunningly perfect balance as the Sec version from this outstanding vineyard. The bouquet is also youthful, but offers up a beautifully precise aromatic constellation of pear, sweet quince, bee pollen, a lovely base of chalky soil, hints of the honeycomb to come with bottle age, lanolin and a topnote of lemon zest. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and complex, with a lovely core and soil undertow, snappy acids and great length and backend lift on the very long, superbly balanced finish. A gorgeous wine in the making, again with the purity of only the finest vintages at Domaine Huët."-Rebecca Gibb, MW
