Flight 1 - Petillant (2 Notes)
Flight 2 - 2011 Sec (3 Notes)
2011 Domaine Huet Vouvray Sec Clos du Bourg 86 Points
France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray
Cigarette smell that blows off. Pure apple, lemon/orange, but spikey in the mouth and merely ok, improves with air but still not especially good.

2011 Domaine Huet Vouvray Sec Le Haut-Lieu 86 Points
France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray
Slightly tropical orange and ripe melon fruit. Cottony, not a lot of structure or complexity, dominated by acid, a bit meh.

2011 Domaine Huet Vouvray Sec Le Mont 88 Points
France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray
Best of the three secs on this showing. Deeper, limey citrus nose. Minerally, fuller and more concentrated with lots of acid, tastes extremely dry. Potentially too much acid? Maybe, but I like this.

Flight 3 - 1993 Sec (1 Note)
1993 Domaine Huet Vouvray Sec Clos du Bourg 91 Points
France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray
Soil, black tea, mulch, salt. Savory and lovely with food, earthy but finishes clean. Shows more tree fruit character with air, with a lovely saline gravelly flavor. Complex and beautiful.

Flight 4 - Demi-Sec (1 Note)
1992 Domaine Huet Vouvray Demi-Sec Le Haut-Lieu 91 Points
France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray
Red apple, pear, peach. Reminds me a bit of a good aged riesling with a petrol note, but the texture is different. There are herbal and spice flavors, truffles, ginger tea and honey. Quite sweet. Beautiful.

Flight 5 - Moelleux (3 Notes)
2008 Domaine Huet Vouvray Demi-Sec Le Haut-Lieu
France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray
Sweet corn and creamed corn on the nose, with lots of tree fruit. Dense and concentrated, but backward and tannic with some leafy undergrowth flavors. Complex, with good potential, but needs time.

2002 Domaine Huet Vouvray Moelleux Clos du Bourg 90 Points
France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray
Honey, fruitcake, spice, some creme brulee flavors, noticeable botrytis, Extremely concentrated, very young, sweet and ripe, viscous, but with great acidity and balance. Needs time to digest the sugar a bit and for everything to integrate but very good right now. Improves with air.

1986 Domaine Huet Vouvray Moelleux Clos du Bourg 88 Points
France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray
Figgy, quince, tea, herbs. Mature, there's sweetness on the attack, but the sugar has faded and this is now a bit tart. Decent but not great. I preferred the 2002.

2009 Domaine Huet Vouvray Pétillant Cuvée Huet Brut 89 Points
France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray Pétillant
Hardly any bubbles, cotton, apples, lemon toast. Shows soft cotton in the mouth, with powerful acid and oranges and spice. Ripe fruit with lots acid, not especially mineral or complex, but tasty.

1998 Domaine Huet Vouvray Pétillant Brut 90 Points
France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray Pétillant
Deeper and more powerful nose, with toasted pear, earth, wool, and muddy meadow aromas. Softer in the mouth with the acid better integrated, fuller, earthy and slightly bitter, good length, turns savory and umami on the finish. Really nice.
