(Domaine Huët Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Sec, Loire Valley) People familiar with the wines of Huët generally love them because they epitomize the elegance and focus that Chenin Blanc can achieve in the Touraine region. Still, Huët Vouvrays, especially the dry versions, can be difficult to approach in their youth. The excellent 2009 vintage is riper and more forward than most, resulting in balanced wines that are lovely to drink now, but can easily be kept a decade or more. This Haut-Lieu Sec is bursting with youthful, perfumed florality that carries right through to the more restrained, crisp palate. A unique wine that is truly of its place. Hot Picks
