Domaine Huet is the undisputed reference point for Vouvray, a near-century-old estate that has set the standard for what Chenin Blanc can be. Clos du Bourg is one of Huet's three great walled vineyards, sitting on shallow clay over solid limestone right by the town, and it's prized for producing the firmest, most mineral and ageworthy of the estate's wines. This is the Sec, the bone-dry style, from 2008. As a back-vintage now well into maturity, it should be drinking gorgeously: the racy acidity Clos du Bourg is built on holds the wine together while age adds honeyed, savory depth. Chenin from Huet is one of white wine's great long-distance runners, and this is a chance to taste why.

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.

Dry, medium-bodied Chenin at maturity: quince, baked apple and honey over chalky minerality, with bright, defining acidity and a long, savory finish.
