 Tasted by Javiroiglop@hotmail.com on 11/20/2020 & rated 96 points: Bestial (1527 views)
 Tasted by NickBurwood on 9/28/2018 & rated 91 points: Dinner at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons with family and friends for son's 30th. Limited notes.
A couple of bottles for the dessert courses. Not a touch on my recently noted 1990 but still excellent. Honey, apricots, jungle fruit and desert spices. Not at all heavy with decent acidity for balance (and cutting across richer puds!).
Fully ready, but being Chenin should make 20yrs from vintage without any problem. (2020 views)
 Tasted by englishman's claret on 7/8/2018 & rated 92 points: Smoky, mineral, melon nose with cheese rind accents. Not super profound for a 1er trie. 91-92. (2810 views)
 Tasted by SINOPTICUS on 3/25/2018 & rated 96 points: Wow. Clean clearly defined flavours. Epically good. (2611 views)
 Tasted by pavel_p on 6/26/2014 & rated 91 points: Tasting at Domaine Huet and Domaine du Clos Naudin; 6/24/2014-6/26/2014 (Vouvray): This had been decanted for several hours but still seemed rather closed. Good weight and elegant wine though. 91+? (6628 views)
 Tasted by grenache lover on 4/21/2014 & rated 93 points: Not the best Huet 1ere Trie that I have had but a very good and solid wine. Fruit a bit grilled both in the nose and mouth, but a very balanced profile with an excellent acidity. Will keep my other bottle for no less than 5 years. (4420 views)
 Tasted by Vintomas on 6/29/2013 & rated 90 points: Nose with dried yellow fruit, discrete honey notes, spice, and some smoke. The palate is sweet with dried yellow fruit, honey (heather honey), noticeable spice notes, and good acidity. 90 p
Residual sweetness 65 g/l. (4085 views)
 Tasted by salil on 3/3/2013 & rated 89 points: Not quite up to the expectations I usually have for a Huet 1er trie, but this is still very good. Ripe Chenin fruit with some botrytised apricot, honeyed and spicy accents, lovely purity and textural finesse and impressive length. Very nice, though not showing the level of complexity and depth these wines usually have. (4398 views)
 Tasted by David J Cooper on 9/12/2010: Light yellow. Tons going on in the nose. apricot, honey, flowers and pine. Really nice sweetness but very balanced finish. Very good. (4452 views)
 Tasted by godx on 9/7/2010 & rated 89 points: WineFanatic Loire Offline (Vancouver, BC): Tasted blind – light lemon in colour, clear. Notes of orange peel, spice and papaya. Viscous mouth feel but with all the acid still has a level of freshness to it. Very good. (2735 views)
 Tasted by tendring on 10/13/2008 & rated 86 points: Visit to Domaine Huet: A nose of reluctant promises.
Fruity with good balance but somehow lacking excitement. (2729 views)
 Tasted by tcfishler on 10/2/2008: Loire Trip (with stops in Beaujolais and the Cote Chalonnaise); 10/2/2008-10/5/2008: Somewhat closed unfortunately, but obviously very mineral, with a great balanced of flavors that just haven't taken on any recognizable form yet. (3625 views)
 Tasted by JeffGMorris on 4/27/2007 & rated 93 points: Tasting with Noel Pinguet at Domaine Huet (Vouvray, France): The only wine Noel bottled from Clos du Bourg in 2006 and in very small quantities. An example of the selection Noel referred to. Light yellow in color, this wine already has a very honied character and a tremendous depth of fruit. 50+13+13+8.5+8.5=93 (3174 views)
