2006 - Vouvray Clos Bourg Moelleux Premiere Trie, Domaine Huet

The 2006 Vouvray Clos du Bourg Moelleux Première Trie is drinking beautifully today, offering a pure and ethereal bouquet of baked pear, smoke, spices, ripe orchard fruits, truffle and exotic nuances, all accented by a touch of reduction and minty lift with aeration. Full-bodied, ample and concentrated, it delivers an enveloping core of fruit supported by bright acidity and a finely textured phenolic mid-palate. The finish is long, fruity and seemingly endless. Clos du Bourg is often the most powerful and telluric expression in Huet’s cellar, and in this vintage, that character is on full and glorious display. Residual sugar: 62 grams per liter.

RS 62 g/l. Certified organic and biodynamic.Gold colour. Lively and zesty on the nose with citrus and candied-fruit notes. Some sweetness but palate-cleansing acidity makes it thirst-quenching. Dry and lifted on the finish. (JL)
