Domaine Huet "Le Haut Lieu" Moelleux Vouvray 2022

John Gilman : 94+ Points

(8/2023) A beautifully botrytized bottle of Vouvray, with a lovely mix of aromatics and flavors from about fifty percent noble rot and fifty percent golden berries. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a mix of yellow plum, sweet quince, baked apple, honeycomb, orange peel, a fine base of chalky soil elements and a topnote of citrus blossoms. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and very elegant in personality, with good, but not snappy acids, lovely focus and balance, a great core of fruit and superb length on the seamlessly balanced and complex finish. This is a beautiful wine in the making. Drink between 2023-2090.

Vinous - Rebecca Gibb MW : 93 Points

(6/2023) The 2022 Le Haut-Lieu Moelleux is a supple, tender style. It's delicate on the palate while succulent and medium-sweet, which is quite a feat. You'll struggle to find many producers in the world who can achieve this balance. It has a fine, delicate fragrance of apple, pear and even a hint of celery. The finish is gentle, with a fine texture lightly coating the palate. A little shorter than I'd like ideally, but still super stuff. (47g/L RS) Drink: 2023-2043.
