(Domaine Huët Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Sec, Loire Valley) People familiar with the wines of Huët generally love them because they epitomize the elegance and focus that Chenin Blanc can achieve in the Touraine region. Still, Huët Vouvrays, especially the dry versions, can be difficult to approach in their youth. The excellent 2009 vintage is riper and more forward than most, resulting in balanced wines that are lovely to drink now, but can easily be kept a decade or more. This Haut-Lieu Sec is bursting with youthful, perfumed florality that carries right through to the more restrained, crisp palate. A unique wine that is truly of its place. Hot Picks

Near perfection in a slightly aged white wine. Explodes in the mouth with lime and lime blossom. Then it grabs on with chalky grip, shows a lovely spice melange and fans out into an underripe tropical orchard finish. The finish goes on and on. Such good juice.

Sexy wine, in a lovely place at the moment. Somehow the trademark Chenin crabapple note has been concentrated so that it's now more like zesty, piquant lime, and there were also plenty of savoury, wheaty notes and a peppery finish. Really moreish and mouthwatering, and rich enough to pair with a stirfry despite being pretty dry.

Clean, crisp flavors. Slight sweet notes. Wonderful with a smoked duck breast and sipping after.
