Perched on the Première Côte, just above the town of Vouvray, Clos du Bourg is a monopole and generally regarded as the greatest of the three Huet single vineyards. It has been farmed by the domaine since 1953 and was purchased in 1963. Arguably the region’s greatest vineyard, Clos du Bourg makes some of Europe's most powerful, thrilling and long-lived white wines. With only one metre of topsoil over solid limestone, the vines immediately tap into the mineral resources underfoot. The warmth of the site, combined with the mineral complexion of the soils, results in rich, long-lived wines that seem to effortlessly combine intense, charged minerality with generous texture and concentration.

Rebecca Gibb MW - Vinous
The 2023 Vouvray Moelleux Clos du Bourg is a very peaceful wine, hushing the drinker. It reminds me of sitting on a pew in an empty church. Seamless, tranquil and un-showy, its sweetness lends silkiness to its core and allows it to bloom. Aromatically, there's not much going on here at the moment, but it is quite young and has ample length and purity. This is satisfying, calm and meditative, with fine texture and a cooling minty note on the long finish. It was only bottled three weeks ago, but I’m a fan already. The 2023 finished at 74 grams per liter of residual sugar, with a pH of 3.45. 850 bottles produced.

Super succulent and sensuous but also extremely fresh, this has quite an extreme interplay of tangy citrusy freshness and tarte tatin plus caramelized mandarin orange richness. I find this pretty, but if you really like sweet-sour southern Chinese dishes, then this could be your thing. From biodynamically grown grapes.
