Description

A great alternative to Champagne.

"...more vivre than a standard Pétillant, notably drier, more vinous with firm acidity and a sense of real minerality. The nose is already showing some signs of complexity behind the fruit, whilst the palate has a degree of austerity that makes it as suitable for the table as much as an aperitif. It is clearly very young and will only benefit with time in bottle. It reminds me, in the best possible way, of my early days of drinking Vouvray in the early 1980s, when the acidity used to dominate the core of the wine. This is serious stuff and deserves to be in the cellar of the most discerning Vouvray lovers cellar. Exceptional - and limited. (07/11)"

Richard Kelley MW: The definitive guide to the wines of the Loire

"In the glass the Domaine Huet 2002 Vouvray Pétillant Réserve has a rich golden hue, as it has always had, as well as a fine but firm and confident bead. Aromatically it displays classically honeyed minerals, with fruit notes suggestive of apples, pears, almonds and cream, and although there is a leesy richness to it all I think it is less overt than I have found in previous bottles. On the palate it feels pure, concentrated and confident, with a very smoky and minerally palate, showing lots of texture and breadth through the middle. The minerally edge is firm, not needle-bright, but gloriously attractive, especially combined with the fruit and texture, and backed up by the fine acidity. This is a very impressive wine, creamy but bright, defined and with a delightful mousse, the composition remaining firm and challenging despite the richness also evident. Long, very classic in terms of flavour, still with a very confident mousse, and with massive potential for the future. Great wine. 18.5/20 (11/2/13)"
