Always a joy to drink these wines. Ginger, honey, honeysuckle, baked apple nose. Rich and full bodied on the palate but with characteristic acidity and minerality. Others are tasting a hint of residual sugar but I think that’s just ripeness.

Is there a more chameleon of a wine than Chenin Blanc? From a pop and pour, we see a copious supply of spicy ginger, an acidic thrust of fresh squeezed lemon and a bit of the CdB pebbles on the finish. I saved a glass and about 3 hrs later, the spiciness had toned down a fair amount, and instead we have a palate of pure and concentrated Granny Smith apples with an almost honeyed quality that suggested a drizzle of honey - though this was bone dry through and through. It really was two different wines coming from the same bottle, both compelling, both delicious. I do think though I’m drinking my Huets on the younger side, and I’m ok with that.

Such a good Huet. Straight out of the bottle the nose was pears, vanilla and honey. Full bodied already, but well balanced. This is going to be amazing.

Très beau, à point. Belle balance du gras et de l'acidité avec une touche de poire et de vanille.
