What is this wine?

Le Mont Sec is one of the flagship single-vineyard wines from Domaine Huet, the legendary biodynamic estate in Vouvray, Loire Valley. Planted on clay-limestone and flinty soils, Le Mont consistently produces some of Huet’s most mineral-driven Chenin Blancs. The 2024 vintage is vinified sec (dry), showing the crystalline purity of Chenin from this great site.

Why get this wine?

Domaine Huet is the benchmark for Vouvray and among the most respected Chenin Blanc producers in the world. Le Mont Sec combines precision, minerality, and aging potential, making it both a wine to enjoy young and one to cellar. For lovers of white Burgundy or Riesling, this offers comparable depth at remarkable value.

What does this wine taste like?

Taut and dry, with citrus, green apple, and quince layered over smoky, flinty minerality. Bright acidity and a clean, saline finish make it both elegant and powerful.

When should you drink this wine?

Delicious now with seafood, goat cheese, or light poultry, but capable of evolving gracefully for 10–20 years in the cellar. Decant young bottles for extra aromatic lift.

Wine Spectator

93 points

"A silky, streamlined beam of green plum, star fruit and pear blossoms is dusted with green herbs. Salty density builds, with the purity of fruit bolstered by succulent acidity and chalky mineral notes. Floral high tones grace the finish, which shows precision and focus. Beautiful now but a bit tightly wound; this will taste better with time in bottle. Drink now through 2035."

More about Domaine Huet

Just east of Tours, on the right bank of the Loire, lies the plateau of Vouvray. Here Chenin Blanc is carefully cultivated in fields of ancient stone and crafted into some of the finest white wines on the planet. And no name resounds in Vouvray like Domaine Huet.

In Huet's hands,Vouvray’s harmonious mysteries reach peak expression. From their dry and dazzling bottlings to the sensual and sweet, Huet knows how to allow the grape to express the terroir.

The Domaine was an early adopter of biodynamics, and these vines -- divided into the three vineyards Haut Lieu, Le Mont and Clos de Bourg -- have been exceptionally well farmed for decades. They make the wine in ancient cellars dug out of the local limestone, "touffeau." When you visit, you can see roots from Le Mont's vines breaking through the chalky white ceilings.

Domaine Huet has a wondrous nickname for Chenin Blanc: Plan du Clair de Lune, translating to “the Vine of the Moonlight”. This captures the subtle essence of Huet’s wines: clarity amidst the darkness; beams of brilliance traversing the heart of a terroir; purity of land and mind. We invite you to experience this beauty for yourself.

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. Size: 8 hectaresSoilClay has a green tinge, and ample stone and silica present.ViticultureAll grapes harvest 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. Noel Pinguet was one of the first French vignerons to adopt biodynamic viticulture and credit biodynamics with enhancing the personalities of the estate's terroirs.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 winesAgingAged in large demi-muids
