2020 Domaine Huet Vouvray Clos Bourg Moelleux Premiere Trie

Wine Advocate (WA)

The white-golden colored 2020 Vouvray Clos du Bourg Moelleux Premiere Trie shows CO2 pearls in the glass, and it indeed opens somewhat reductive, asking for a Burgundy glass. Yet even though the 2020 Clos du Bourg asks for patience, it already indicates a terribly concentrated bouquet of lemon chutney and humid chalk. On the palate, this is a full-bodied, rich and juicy, very elegant and generous Chenin from this ancient six-hectare grand cru (one of the oldest in France, as the domaine assures). It is immediately attractive, stimulatingly piquant and nourishes hope for a great future. The potential is doubtlessly there, but 7-10 years of our patience is presumed. Tasted as a sample in May 2021. - Stephan Reinhardt - 05/10/2021
