| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.4 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 267 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by ohne_musik on 4/12/2024 & rated 94 points: Can’t believe it’s been 6 years since my last bottle. A firecracker Le Mont, with thrilling acidity, lemon and lanolin, lime flower, a bit more evolution with honeycomb, some white mushroom, hay, and some complex umami laden tide pool. Dense, chewy texture full of dry extract, but mid weight in body. It will likely continue to gain complexity. Mighty fine. (540 views) | | | Tasted by brooklynguy on 3/24/2024: Slow to open on the nose but got there beautifully with orange oil, eucalyptus honey, candle wax, and that particular slightly funky and pungent minerality of this place. All of this, though, is delicate, not explosive, mature. The palate is not as articulate as the nose and while I want to say that it’s because it’s perfectly harmonious, I think it’s more that the wine just isn’t very strong any longer on the palate. It’s a bit salty in its mineral expression. There’s no fruit whatsoever, which is fine, but there isn’t enough detail to be compelling. (914 views) | | | Tasted by MuddyBoots on 12/9/2023: The first thing I notice - and often do with the Huet dry Vouvrays - is how broad they are on the palate. This is fully textured. Quite muted nose. There is good ripe fruit. Wet wool. Lanolin. Complex orchard stone fruits soaked in a light syrup. I think there's some detectable residual sugar contributing to the perceived breadth of the wine on the palate. As the critic John Gilman commented in his 2012 review, this wine has half a foot in the Demi-Sec camp in terms of aromatics and flavors. It's full of flavor. Needed acid comes late to refresh the wine and drive the length onward to a very satisfactory finish. Needs food. Holding up well of course. Will basically keep forever. Bought on release. (1326 views) | | | Tasted by rpk99 on 11/13/2023 & rated 94 points: Huet is simple the best Vouvray and for me the best white wine in existence. (1712 views) | | | Tasted by kosmik on 8/31/2023 & rated 92 points: Superbe tenue.
Encore bien droit, légèrement évolué mais sans plus.
Semble avoir une longue route devant, soutenue par une acidité bien présente et qui fait vibrer un ensemble bien nourri.
92-93? (1900 views) | | | Tasted by french16 on 8/25/2023: What a great bottle. Just a hint of exotic fruits and bordeline with some RS but amazing energy, balance and finish.
Beautiful golden color. (1764 views) | | | Tasted by Frank Murray III on 4/5/2023: Farewell to my final bottle of the 2010, and this is the last bottle of Huet in my cellar. This vintage of Le Mont co continues to cruise right along, and the core of the wine's acidity remains alive and present, with a lime peel note that was not in the 2007 (which I served alongside). Touch of caramel and good structure. Where the 2007 is more dense and flamboyant in tone, the 2019 seems more focused and brighter. (2631 views) | | | Tasted by ron m on 1/1/2023: TFM 23 new years dinner. Excellent bottle that always delivers with food. Nice floral nose, showing quince, lime, honey. Quite agile on the palate perhaps just a tad heavy but really everything is in check. Decent finish. Went great with the cauliflower panna cotta and the fois gras. (2253 views) | | | Tasted by DK Amateur on 9/23/2022: This had at first notes of caramel which were hard to distinguish from premox but in the end it was simply a rich and at the same time acidic and sharp wine. Very tasty.
On the second day there is no doubt about the oxydation. Flawed, I think, but still a pleasure. I wonder if my increasing rate of flawed bottles is owing to 7 seven years of wine fridge (instead of a passive cellar)? (2453 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 7/24/2022: Full yellow. Mind’s eye Vouvray sec. Drinking beatifully. See July, 2021 note-largely unchanged. (3001 views) | | | Tasted by Carteran on 6/1/2022 & rated 90 points: Golden hue, aromatic nose of ripe apple, citrus, and a hint of smoke and quite sharp acidity on the palate, with freshness belying its age (2696 views) | | | Tasted by olemski on 8/22/2021 & rated 92 points: Golden, aromatic, fruity and fresh. That's this wine in just four adjectives. Typical Chenin with a bit of animal fur over the fresh apricot and lime scents, fabulously harmonious in the mouth with smooth fruit in a fresh coating. Long. (3462 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 7/29/2021: Light golden yellow. With swirling, honeysuckle and ripe pear. Medium bodied-definite glycerine but not as textured as Loire Chenin can be. Off dry, not an austere Sec. Beautifully pure fruit, great acidity, and an earthy finale. At a nigh unto perfect place now but will surely last. (3624 views) | | | Tasted by olemski on 7/28/2021 & rated 93 points: Drinking this wine, it is hard to imagine that there are better white wines. It is linear and fresh, yet fruity and harmonious. Honey over lime and a touch of yellow apples, and supple in the mouth. And long in the aftertaste, of course. Why didn't I buy a case when I had the chance? (2977 views) | | | Tasted by olemski on 5/23/2021 & rated 92 points: Golden hue. Citrus, animal fur and pineapple on the nose - or Chenin Blanc, as one might also call it. Honey is evident once it enters the mouth for a smooth yet grippy passage ending with good length. Excelent value. (3050 views) | | | Tasted by Carteran on 5/7/2021: Started out a bit flat when just opened, then began to taste oxidised, but by the next day it had completely changed and was excellent. Will decant the next one. (2911 views) | | | Tasted by mat600 on 4/25/2021 & rated 92 points: Un autre producteur que j'aime bien. Des notes huilées pour ce vin sur la pêche et un peu l'abricot. Belle longueur. 92 sur 100. (2597 views) | | | Tasted by cannym on 4/16/2021 & rated 92 points: Pale yellow. Hay and baked apple. Under ripe pineapple.Real seam of honeyed richness. Some white florality. Decent acidity, great balance. Very fine. (2470 views) | | | Tasted by Puteljen! on 2/27/2021 & rated 92 points: Had with pizza bianco. Quite broad nose with glycerol, wax, yellow apples, peach and cantaloupe melon. Also ripe, sweet lemon and hints of orange. On the palate still energetic with good acidity and lots of minerals, wrapped in more of the ripe fruit. Granite and hints of flint underneath it all. Good lenght. Drinking younger than last bottle if my memory serves me. Very good! (2934 views) | | | Tasted by stefad on 1/24/2021 & rated 92 points: Beau vin, agrumes (citron bergamote), belle acidité et minéralité. Persistance aromatique. 91-92/100 (2728 views) | | | Tasted by maxima on 1/12/2021 & rated 90 points: Très beau Chenin, sec, vif et ciselé.
Ananas, cire d'abeille, poire et miel
La finale est bien longue et tranchante,
il y a une belle minéralité. (3632 views) | | | Tasted by HFLED on 1/10/2021 & rated 92 points: From a 375.
Cork intact, wine in good shape, a pale straw color. On the nose, candied pineapple, beeswax, minerality, and Meyer lemon. On the palate the wine came across with similar flavors to the nose, but a strong concentration of flavor which was quite nice. Wine was medium bodied with medium acidity and a slightly minerally mouthfeel. Would have expected more acidity to be honest. Overall, very nicely balanced wine, though a couple more years of cellar time might help the wine open up even more. (2724 views) | | | Tasted by CSteefel on 1/9/2021 flawed bottle: A 375 ml bottle, this was clearly darkened in color, so the premox (sherry) character was no surprise. My second 375 from 2010 that was premoxed, I assume they are all gone. (2652 views) | | | Tasted by honest bob on 1/8/2021 & rated 92 points: From 75cl, acceptable cork discoloured 1/3rd way back. Opened but not decanted 1 hour, could and maybe should have been a lot longer. Last tasted 08.02.2014, boy what a difference now it's open for business! Heady citrus blossom and hay on the nose. Big, concentrated, thick, sweet/dry/sour/acid entry emerging into a kind of fantasy citrus-fruit mid-palate poised somewhere between the best Meyer lemon, the finest Texas ruby grapefruit and a dream tangerine. Vivid, blazing, ripe acidity, just enough bitterness to keep things interesting; long, vibrant, resonant finish. Great wine right at the start of its drinking window, which will surely extend for several decades. A bargain at 19 EUR retail back in the day. 92P(+) (2655 views) | | | Tasted by olemski on 12/28/2020 & rated 88 points: Dark golden - a bit like a urine sample the day after the night before. No urine on the nose, thank goodness. Wet dog and mostly citrus. Mouth is fair, but no more than that. Good wine, but it fails to shine. Inexpensive, though, all things considered.
