(Huet Petillant Brut) This lived up to its reputation as the leading sparkling wine in the Loire Valley. This is a Champagne look alike. Yeasty aromas with hints of grilled nuts, light citrus and saline minerality. The wine is like a pillow of Chenin on the palate with finesse only found in the better Champagnes. It floats and has a wonderful slightly sweet ginger presence. Complex would be the best word to describe this wine after it had been open thirty minutes. It also had the trademark Huet "crunch" that I have found in his secs and demis from 2002. Great balance and a wine that will siginificantly improve for many years. Dare I say twenty plus?
