  November 17, 2023 - This pours light gold in the glass. The nose is love, aromatic, and classic Vouvray showing apple blossom beeswax, lanolin, baked peach, chalky mineral, and applesauce. The palate is just the tiniest pinch off dry feeling like the typical 5 - 6 g/l entering on fresh crisp apple. The acid is medium plus, almost high and quite sour, turning a touch toward bitter apple skin on the finish. All in all the nose is quite classic and thoroughly enjoyable and the palate while bright and refreshing is definitely a tad bitter, holding this back a little for my tastes. Still quite nicely done and I'm happy to report holding up very well after 13 years.

  February 28, 2023 - Bought on auction. Second bottle this winter, both consistent. My first Huet cuvee so take it for what it is: dense yellow colour, honey melon, a developed feel to it, but also a sezt of kefir leaves on the nose. Succulent, rich on the palate, shows it self as as rich as a tendre or demi-sec, some gentle spices at the end like camomille, but prolonging with the acid still holding up at day three. Impressive consistent with the exposure to air. On that note I guess it will sit well on its plateau.

  December 30, 2022 - Very acidic upon opening. 4 hours gave it more balance. Beautiful wine that shows lots of ageing already. Hay, beeswax, lime, lemon, minerality ++ Drank over 3 days and just keeps on balancing out and delivering on a very high level.

  December 29, 2021 - This is a stunningly good and terribly young wine. Still the palest yellow color with a hint of gold. It should be decanted and left at room temperature for some time before it opens to reveal aromas of hay and honey and flavor of dry honey and lemon rind. I had to open this to give try it although I know it is too young. Give it 20+ years. I confess I will have a hard time waiting.
