Description

Vouvray 1947
Le Haut Lieu, Moelleux, Domaine Huet
dark amber color
Bottle (2)


"From a legendary vintage ("the most highly respected Loire vintage of the 20th Century" – Richard Kelly), Gaston Huet's dark amber-clored 1947 Vouvray Le Haut Lieu Moelleux opens with a very clear, intense and concentrated bouquet of super ripe peaches, apricots, and blood oranges mingled with fresh lime and coolish mineral flavors,; it is highly elegant and noble in its beautiful balance and intensity. Powerful, sweet, intense and very rich on the palate, this is an absolutely exceptional wine: dense, intense and finesse-full, with firm yet delicate tannins and an endless fruit intensity. There is mind-blowing balance, tension and freshness here. The finish is so pure and salty, so firm and intense that this quintessence of Chenin Blanc should go for another 50 years." (100 pts. Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, Nov. 2015)
