Renowned for its dedication to biodynamic viticulture since 1990, the estate spans 35 hectares across three principal vineyards: Le Haut-Lieu, Le Mont, and Clos du Bourg. Domaine Huet’s commitment to expressing the unique terroir of each site has solidified its reputation for producing some of the most age-worthy and expressive Chenin Blanc wines in the world. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Winemaker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eUnder the ownership of Anthony Hwang since 2003, Domaine Huet continues its legacy with a team that upholds traditional winemaking practices.

The winemaking process is overseen by a dedicated team committed to maintaining the high standards set by the Huet family. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyards and Microclimate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe Le Mont vineyard, acquired by Domaine Huet in 1957, encompasses 9 hectares on the slopes of Vouvray. Characterized by its green clay and flint (silex) soils, Le Mont imparts a distinctive minerality and tension to the wines. The vineyard’s southeast exposure ensures optimal sunlight, while the Loire River’s proximity moderates temperatures, contributing to the grapes’ balanced ripening and the wine’s vibrant acidity. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eGrapes are hand-harvested and sorted meticulously to ensure optimal quality. Fermentation occurs using indigenous yeasts in a combination of stainless steel tanks and old oak barrels, preserving the purity of the fruit. Malolactic fermentation is typically avoided to maintain the wine’s natural acidity. The wine is aged on its fine lees, enhancing texture and complexity, before being bottled without filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2022 Le Mont Sec presents a luminous pale gold hue. On the nose, it offers an intricate bouquet of green apple, quince, lime zest, and subtle floral notes of honeysuckle and chamomile. The palate is medium to full-bodied, showcasing flavors of pear, citrus peel, and a hint of flint-driven minerality. A vibrant acidity provides structure, leading to a long, precise finish with lingering notes of citrus and wet stone.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood \u0026amp; Wine Pairing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThis wine’s crisp acidity and mineral backbone make it an excellent companion to a variety of dishes.
