Varietal

Chenin Blanc

Originating in France yet now grown in many parts of the New World, Chenin Blanc is one of the most versatile and highly regarded white wine grape varietals on earth. These green skinned grapes hold a relatively high acid content, and as such can be used for making still white wines of exceptional quality, as well as superb sparkling wines (such as the Crémant wines of the Loire Valley) and extremely aromatic dessert wines. Their natural transparency means that they are a fine grape for expressing their terroir in the bottle, and winemakers often experiment with this varietal to coax unusual and intense flavors from the grapes, such as allowing the development of noble rot on the fruit in order to make sweet and viscous wines of a unique character.

Region

Loire Valley

Within France, the one region most closely associated with fine white and rosé wines is surely the Loire Valley. With over eight controlled appellations, and a relatively large expanse of land covering this wide valley, the Loire Valley is an ideal location for wineries wishing to produce large quantities of excellent quality vines for their wine production. Indeed, this region has been associated with excellent white wines for over a thousand years, with it once being the favorite wine region for the crowned heads of England, France and beyond. Today, it produces a wide range of white wines, and several rosé and red varieties also. It is also widely celebrated for being home to some of France's most lively and fruity sparkling crémant wines, which more than match those produced in nearby Champagne.

Appellation

Vouvray/Touraine

Touraine is a French wine appellation in the heart of the Loire Valley, known for its diversity and value. It produces a wide range of wine styles, including crisp whites, light reds, fresh rosés, and elegant sparkling wines. The region’s cool climate and varied soils contribute to its distinctive character. White wines, especially those made from Sauvignon Blanc, are the appellation’s hallmark—zesty, aromatic, and citrus-driven, often with a stony or grassy edge. Red Touraine is typically made from Gamay, Cabernet Franc, or Pinot Noir, offering juicy red fruit and soft tannins. Rosés are dry and refreshing, and méthode traditionnelle sparkling wines are increasingly respected. Touraine’s wines are approachable, versatile, and food-friendly, making them ideal for everyday drinking and discovery. For wine lovers seeking a gateway into French terroir without the price tag of more famous regions, Touraine delivers quality and character with unmistakable Loire charm.

WA 97pts

Wine Advocate

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.

JS 95pts

James Suckling

Very dense and creamy with stacks of creme brulee and dried apricot character. On the borderline of medium- to full-bodied, the fresh, citrusy acidity making it feel lighter than it is. Wonderfully vibrant finish that pulls you back for more. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

WS 93pts

Wine Spectator

Rich and sweet, but with really fine cut, as quince, dried persimmon and dried mango notes ripple along, backed by enticing ginger and green almond notes. Stays sweet, but chiseled. Drink now through 2020. 1,250 cases made.
