The wine offer of the Loire Valley is nothing but diverse, and Vouvray is the only region that best typifies this diversity. Admittedly, Vouvray is all about one variety: Chenin Blanc. Vouvray is located in the coolest part of the Loire and the climate has the most influence on the wine style. In colder years, increased acidity lends itself to both still and sparkling wines that can be dry, semi-dry or medium dry.

Domaine Huet is without a doubt Reference for top wines in the Loire! Domaine Huet, founded in 1928, has three special and different terroirs: Le Mont with 8 hectares, Le Haut-Lieu with 9 hectares and Le Clos de Bourg with 6 hectares surrounded by a stone wall. We are located east of Tours in the Loire. Since 1990, Huet has been one of the forerunners of biodynamic viticulture. This cultivation method, which fully respects the soil, the plant and the environment, ensures that the Chenin Blanc shows its true character and authenticity here. In the wine cellar, the wines ferment in a mix of old oak barrels (demi muids) and stainless steel tanks. Fermentation starts with the natural, own yeast. After the first fermentation, there is no lactic acid fermentation so that the wines retain their characteristic 'fraicheur'.

The Vouvray Clos du Bourg Demi-Sec 2020 is concentrated, deep and still somewhat untamed. The wine has a clear, fresh and lemon-fruity nose. Round and refined yet with a nice firm tannin structure, this is a rich and powerful yet elegant and persistently salty Chenin with tension, grip and a lasting, promising finish. The Clos du Bourg 2020 combines juiciness with finesse and purity with complexity. 95/100 Parker.
