WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Huet Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Sec is a highly regarded wine produced by Domaine Huet, a renowned winery located in the Vouvray appellation of France's Loire Valley. The vineyard features old vines grown on steep slopes with clay and limestone soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's freshness and purity. The resulting wine is a dry and crisp expression of Chenin Blanc, with notes of citrus, green apple, and honey, and a long, mineral finish. This wine is a perfect example of the exceptional quality and character that can be found in Vouvray wines.
