Clos du Bourg sits on the poorest, shallowest, stoniest ground Huet farms on Vouvray's Premiere Cote, and it makes the most powerful wine in the house: Le Mont's mineral intensity married to Le Haut Lieu's generous texture. '1ere Trie' means this is the first pass through the vineyard, the initial selection of botrytis-touched Chenin, bottled sweet only in years that offer it. 2022 offered it after a strange, hot season -- an early budbreak, record heat as early as May, heat waves through July and August -- in which the old vines' roots in porous tuffeau limestone found enough moisture that the fruit never shut down, and the dryness kept rot pressure to nothing. Ripening was so uneven that twenty-four pickers worked the vineyards for six weeks starting September 8th, a record for the estate. Huet was founded in 1928 by Victor Huet and his son Gaston, has farmed biodynamically since 1990 and been certified since 1993, and is run today by Sarah and Hugo Hwang with a cellar team that goes back decades. Sweet Vouvray of this quality is famously long-lived; this will drink beautifully young and still be going in thirty years.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roquefort or a well-aged blue, foie gras terrine, seared duck with apricots, or a tarte Tatin. Also very good on its own, well chilled, before dinner.

Tasting Profile

Sweet but never syrupy, with quince, honeyed apricot, candied citrus peel and a waxy, chalky note. Full and silky in the mouth, with high acidity cutting straight through the sugar and a long, stony, faintly saline finish.
