  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.

  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.

  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.

  Huet is simple the best Vouvray and for me the best white wine in existence.

  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?
