2022 Domaine Huet Vouvray Le Haut Lieu Moelleaux Première Trie

Le Haut-Lieu was the estate's first vineyard, purchased in 1928. Situated on the Première Côte, it's a 9-hectare plot on deep brown chalky clay (known as aubuis). Here the yellow limestone (tuffeau) bedrock lies up to four meters down, making for a richer soil that produces round, supple wines that can drink very well young. It generally produces the earliest maturing of the three cuvées and is usually ready to drink first, but, like Clos du Bourg and Le Mont, the wines can be extremely long-lived. We have enjoyed bottles from the '40s that are still drinking very well!
