Le Mont is an undisputed (though unofficial) grand cru vineyard, its limestone-dominated soils yielding wines of intense minerality. The 2023 delivers a masterclass in balance: ripe stone fruit and honey, yet never luscious, with tropical character lending richness to the reserved style. Nearly a century of unrivaled Chenin Blanc mastery finds perfect expression here, where acidity dances against sweetness with remarkable poise.

"The 2023 Vouvray Moelleux Le Mont is a ripe, round, serious, suit-wearing wine style that's upright and conservative. It’s sweet (74g/l) but never feels luscious, and yet there's a tropical character to the fruit that gives richness to this reserved style. The effect of the flint is clear in the 2023’s sense of freshness. It's textured, pure, balanced and harmonious." —Rebecca Gibb

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Polaner Selections has to say about this wine:

VineyardPurchased in 1957, Le Mont lies on the esteemed Premiere Côte. With less clay and more stone than Le Haut-Lieu, Le Mont yields young wines of intense minerality. The wines are the estate's most reticent, but develop the strongest perfume with age. Size: 8 hectaresSoilClay has a green tinge, and there are ample stone and silica present.ViticultureBiodynamically farmed. All grapes harvested by hand, which enables picking by successive tries, each tri being a separate pass by the workers through the vineyard, ensuring only the best bunches of ripest (or even botrytised) grapes.VinificationUndergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in large, old oak demi-muids as well as stainless steel vats. There is no encouragement of the malolactic fermentation, thus many Huet wines remain rich in malic acid, a character that brings an age-worthiness to the wines. Moelleux cuvées typically have more than 30 g/l residual sugarAgingAged in large demi-muids
