Domaine Huet, founded in 1928, is Vouvray’s benchmark and a biodynamic pioneer. Clos du Bourg, a walled vineyard on shallow limestone-clay soils, yields powerful, long-lived Chenin Blanc. The 2003 Moelleux, released ex-domaine in 2023, offers natural sweetness balanced by acidity, fermented and aged in a mix of stainless steel and demi-muids.

With two decades of development, it shows honeyed depth and complexity while retaining freshness. Perfect with blue cheese, fruit desserts, or on its own.

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, "tuffeau." 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.
