Domaine Huet Vouvray Clos du Bourg Sec 2009 is a dry Chenin Blanc from one of the most celebrated vineyards in the Loire Valley. The 2009 vintage was warm and solar, resulting in a wine with a rich, oily texture and notes of quince, baked apple and ginger. Huet’s biodynamic approach has preserved a racy acidity that provides a necessary backbone to the opulent fruit. An energetic and focused wine, showing a distinct flinty minerality that is characteristic of the Clos du Bourg’s tuffeau limestone.

Robert Parker
The Huet 2009 Vouvray Sec Clos du Bourg is rich and oily yet at the same time impressively juicy and bright, with fresh lime and grapefruit that almost seem as though they could have been conferred by the addition of Sauvignon. Possessed of a sweet, saline, crustacean reduction-like savor; and a remarkably palpable sense of density, this displays some of the same energy and sizzling intersection of white pepper, citrus oil, and chalk as found in the Le Mont, but here there is more refreshment, refinement, and mineral diversity. It should be worth following for the better part of a decade, if not beyond. Seen superficially, one might have expected the stressful proximity of mother chalk, paucity of fine earth and consequent difficulty to retain stress-relieving water during a warm, dry late summer and autumn to have rendered the balance in Clos du Bourg more problematic, but the opposite is the case, demonstrating both the virtue and mystery of this site. - David Schildknecht
