For the price level the Huet wines are some of the best I have ever tried. <br /><br />Have tasted the Clos du Bourg Sec and Le Mont Sec of 2010 and they where both amazing. We also visited Huet when we where in Vouvray last summer, but unfortunately it was not one of the more inspiring vineyard visits. We did however have a very pleasant visit at Champalou, who produces a nice Sec. The quality is not quite at Huet level, but still a very good buy.

Huet quality. Still young and will benefit from cellar time.<br /><br />2009 Huet Vouvray Clos du Bourg Sec - had a bottle 2+ years ago. my notes: "Terrific juice. Round on the palate and nose. A great effort, but will benefit from a few hours of decanting before drinking as well as cellar time."<br /><br />2009 le Haut Lieu (Gaston Huet) Vouvray<br />CuveƩ Constance. My notes: "Spectacular juice even at this young age. While not an equal to the prodigious 1997 this is beautiful on the nose and palate. Made in a botrytis-driven style the just keeps evolving and each sip is sublime."Mark Scudieryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102587984431792324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-75289544408340520562013-06-25T11:54:04.139-04:002013-06-25T11:54:04.139-04:00from what i have seen in the 2011 range, huet made...from what i have seen in the 2011 range, huet made a trilogy of sec wines and also a "la mont 1er tri". i have not tasted them yet, but from what i have gathered, there was very little or no botrytis in 2011.<br />o7 made great secs with ripping acidity. the 08's can be softer but pretty nice demi secs. the o9s are killer across the board. '10 has more focus and less opulence then o9. james molesworth noted, the '10 sweets are the best since 97!<br />thanks for this post. it gives me more will to hide my huet bottles longer than i was thinking. jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03820136055552225126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-30703895502511746052013-06-24T16:09:06.074-04:002013-06-24T16:09:06.074-04:00I know nothing about these things, which has never...I know nothing about these things, which has never stopped me. But my sense was that Huet's sec and demi-sec were shifting, maybe due to global warming, and that today's sec has nearly as much RS as yesterday's demi. That maybe this was as much a labeling as a production controversy. But again, je ne sais rien.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-40252779894632355832013-06-24T07:46:55.892-04:002013-06-24T07:46:55.892-04:00Nice post: I am a big fan of these wines as well. ...Nice post: I am a big fan of these wines as well.
