    May 11, 2024 - Didn't make a note for this, but it was lovely, classic and clean expression of Loire Chenin Blanc. Has a bit of upside.

    April 22, 2024 - Initial notes of struck match on the nose, giving way to straw, beeswax, honey, lemon, and white flowers. Golden apples, ginger, and a hint of honey on wet stones on the palate. It’s always a special occasion when I open a Huet wine, and this one delivered.

    March 6, 2024 - Slight golden color. Caramel, beeswax, bark, pear fruit, stony. Oxidized notes. Toffee pronounced on the round palate. Good length with some RS balanced against acid, noticeable phenolics. I have enjoyed in past but not today. Lacks freshness, clarity. Maybe a slightly off bottle (though cork looked good)?

    January 27, 2024 - Can’t add anything beyond Cutlass’s note below. This is lovely, both great now and likely to evolve nicely in the years to come. Will probably hold the other bottle I have a few years to find out.

    January 7, 2024 - Unripe citrus aromas with lemon zest. Oily entry and then tart citrus. So much fresher compared to recent hot vintages and great acidity reminiscent of those taut Mosel Rieslings or of how Chenin Blanc used to be in the Loire… drink now or hold - this vintage will go the distance!

    November 18, 2023 - 2nd of 4. This is so good - tart, rich, citrusy, acidic, penetrating and concentrated. See my April 2023 review for more details. Tons of life left on these, but they are so amazing to drink now.

    September 30, 2023 - Klare helle Farbe. Die Nase sehr clean, nicht zu intensiv mit Zitrusnoten, Blumen und Kräuternoten. Chenin Wachs Noten. Leise und sehr filigran.
    Am Gaumen schöne Balance zwischen frischer Säure und blumigen Kräuternoten. Mittler bis langer Nachhall mit viel Würze, leicht aber relativ konzentriert. Sehr tolle Komplexität mit Spiel aus verschiedenen Kräuternoten und Zitrus am Gaumen. Toller frischer Weißwein bei dem die Fruchtnoten mal etwas im Hintergrund spielen.
