ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Domaine Huets iconic estates three parcelsLe Haut-Lieu, Le Mont, and Clos du Bourgcompose most of Vouvrays premire cte. They were an early adopter of biodynamic farming and stand as a model for small producers around the world.

Le Haut Lieu is Huets original vineyard, lying slightly higher and further from the Loire than the other two parcels, and produces the most open and accessible of their wines, with broad richness and a tropical-inflected palate. Even though this is structured to age for multiple decades, its definitely the most approachable nowan exceptional pairing with beautifully ripe cheeses or as its own after-dinner treat.
