Tasted Tuesday, June 24, 2014 - Thursday, June 26, 2014 by pavel_p with 505 views
Spending summer vacation in the region and not knowing a lot about Loire whites, decided to do a tasting at Domaine Huet and Foreau (which is just vis-à-vis). Not the most thorough tasting notes as I am not really familiar with the wines and was there with family and kids.
Preferred Huet to Clos Naudin as the wines were more expressive. While there were several very nice to excellent wines I find Burgundy whites more refined and elegant.
2012 Domaine Huet Vouvray Sec Clos du Bourg 88 Points

Pale yellow. Nice nose with some grass. Rather straight forward on the palate. Nice but nothing to write home about

2012 Domaine Huet Vouvray Sec Le Mont 88 Points
France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray
(6/26/2014)
Pale yellow. Compared to the 2012 Clos du Bourg, le Mont was a bit denser and a bit oily on the palate. Or to put it differently, this was more settled but lacked some of the crisp acidity and freshness.

Compared to those 2012s, this was a bit fizzy and thinner. 87-88
