Description

One bottle of this wine which is not commercially available in the UK.

The Domaine Huet wines estate was founded by Victor Huet in 1928 in the hills overlooking Vouvray village in the Loire Valley. From the beginning, the nine hectares of Le Haut Lieu on the Première Côte, Vouvray’s acknowledged premier cru terroir, were planted entirely with the Loire’s traditional grape, Chenin Blanc. And, from the start, Victor’s 17-year-old son, Gaston Huet, worked beside his father on the land on the Domain Huet Vouvray wines estate, keeping the notoriously prolific growth of these vines in check to ensure quality. During World War II, Huet served heroically (as his father had in World War I) and was eventually captured as a POW.

After the Liberation, Gaston took over the Domaine and raised its reputation to the very top. He acquired two more parcels on the Première Côte: Clos du Bourg (which Huet began farming in 1953, before purchasing it in 1963); and, in 1957 Domaine Huet Le Mont. The Domaine Huet estate now encompasses 30 hectares.

Le Haut-Lieu, the original Huet vineyard, is nearly 9 hA. It has the richest soils of the domaine’s three crus—a deep limestone-clay—and the wines are generally the estate’s most approachable. In some vintages, small quantities from nearby estate parcels may be added to Le Haut-Lieu.

The Domaine Huet Vouvray estate is probably most highly regarded for its Moelleux wines.
