Vouvray "Le Haut Lieu" Demi-Sec, Huet - 2016

Item # 37130 750 mL

Le Haut Lieu is the higher, eastern-facing nine hectares of Huet's three famous vineyards. Known to be charming while young, this Chenin Blanc is in its stride now. Lightly sweet and floral, notes of acacia honey and savory beeswax give layers of complexity. A stunning vintage for demi-sec, one may keep this in cellar or open now with stronger cheeses, gamey and slow cooked pork, or poultry in buttery sauces. Demi-sec is a fuller style of Chenin Blanc--sweet, but with bright, non-cloying acidity.

As diverse as Loire wines are, one day soon you'll know your Melon de Bourgogne from your Romorantin.

Chenin Blanc

A versatile grape that is grown worldwide, but is most commonly associated with the Loire, California, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand. It produces just about any type of wine you can think of: ageworthy dessert wines; delicious, honeyed dry whites; sparklers; and even bases for fortified wines and spirits.
