Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, December 14, 2022 - A survey of Domaine Huet (Chicago, IL): Cursive label. This wine may be responsible for one of the best pairings I've ever had. A braised and then grilled piece of coppa was served alongside this, and the balance between the pork fat and the sweetness and acidity in this wine was perfect. Intense botrytis notes, but the age mellows it out a lot. There's more peach than marmalade, but still some intense spice notes that really speak to the botrytis. Still some sweetness, but obviously nowhere as intense as the myriad 1989 1ère tries we had tonight. With air, more of the classic wooly chenin notes start to emerge. This would be a wine more drinkable by the glass than the 1989s, where a little just goes so far.
