100% Chenin Blanc from Huet’s three biodynamic vineyards on Vouvray’s Premiere Côte. Bottled before primary fermentation is completed, yeast added to complete the ferment. With 10g/l, its noticable sweetness gives way to a dry and zippy finish, thanks in part to pronounced, well-integrated acidity. Note ripe honeycrisp apples, nectarines, exotic spices, and honeysuckle. Not to be confused with Champagne flavors, but it is a special bottle of bubbly.

From its three storied Vouvray vineyards—Clos du Bourg, Le Haut-Lieu, and Le Mont—Domaine Huet makes some of the world’s most profound and long-lived white wines in all styles, ranging from the crystalline clarity of the bone-dry sec to the lighty sweet precision of the demi-sec, to the rich and ambrosial moelleux. At each sugar level, they are the ultimate examples of Loire Valley Chenin Blanc.

The result is a very strong, and critically beloved, lineup featuring dry wines from all three sites. With lower alcohol and elevated acidity, the three secs remind one of the great Huets from the 1980s and 1990s. But as the secs are surely to garner much attention, the Le Mont and Clos du Bourg demis are not to be underestimated. Some may consider them the winners of the vintage as they lean toward the drier side, around 20g/l, with incredible focus. They’ll also age beautifully and indefinitely.
