Community Tasting Note

• wineism Likes this wine:

  April 22, 2020 - My recommendation for a Huet 1ère Trie from a great vintage (like 2015): wait at least 15 years (from vintage on). The wines need a long time to show their complexity and to open up. To me, Huet does one of the greatest (residual) sweet Chenin Blancs - but you have to be patient.
  IMO it's nonsense to drink them now.
