(6/2021) "Domaine Huet's 2020 Moelleux bottling from the Le Haut Lieu vineyard is an absolutely stunning wine in the making. The bouquet is deep, pure and very, very precise (recalling the 1989 version when it was young!), soaring from the glass in a complex blend of sweet quince, fresh pineapple, a bit of tangerine, a gorgeous base of chalky soil tones, honeycomb, bee pollen, citrus peel and a topnote of white lilies. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and complex, with a stunning core of fruit, great mineral drive, a superb girdle of acidity and a very long, refined and utterly complete finish. I love the backend lift here! This is a great Moelleux in the making. As is customary with this bottling, it will most likely offer up a couple of years of stunning drinking in its youth and then close down for a period of hibernation, after which it will drink well for a couple generations beyond my life expectancy! 2021-2100."

Champalou "La Moelleuse" Vouvray 2015 500 ML

Wine Spectator
(9/30/2017) "Intense, with racy quince, green fig, mirabelle plum and yellow apple fruit zipping through, all while keeping an unctuous hint at the same time thanks to the sweet edge. The long finish has lovely tension and cut. A very focused, pure dessert wine. Drink now through 2040. 76 cases imported."

(3/2021) "The 2020 Le Haut Lieu Demi-Sec is made in a perfumed, floral style, offering aromas of pear, orange citrus, white flowers and agave nectar. There's a sense of effortlessness about this wine, like floating along on a cloud of Chenin Blanc with nowhere to be in any hurry. And yet there's a real tension and poise on the finish. While it's demi-sec, offering 19g/L of residual sugar, the pH is a low 3.16 and provides a line of acidity that anchors the wine, leaving a just off-dry impression on the precise finish. A very complete wine, in its diapers yet massively drinkable already (Haut-Lieu tends to be the domaine's earliest vineyard to get into its stride), although Domaine Huet fans will know this has an assured future. Drink 2021 - 2035."

Champalou "Les Fondraux" Vouvray 2018
91+
Our Score
(8/2021) Champalou is a very small, very high quality family-operated grower in the Loire Valley region of Vouvray. Catherine and Didier Champalou, with daughter Celine at their side, are bottling delicious Chenin Blancs from their pristine chalky-clay soil vineyards. Their "Les Fondraux" has around 15 grams/liter of residual sugar, resulting in a gently plush texture and a just-noticeable sensation of sweet. Flavors of white peach, ripe yellow plum, banana and Key Lime lead the way, along with nuanced mineral and chalk tones. Delicious by itself, with a variety of cheeses, spicy sushi or BLT's, this is a wine you cannot go wrong with.

Champalou Vouvray Brut NV

Our Score
(1/2020) Here's a delicious bubbly from Champalou, one of our favorite Kermit Lynch growers. Utilizing the same traditional production methods employed in Champagne, this sparkler is crafted from 25-year-old Chenin Blanc vines grown in limestone and clay. The lucky drinkers will enjoy apple and citrus flavors, with honey and chalky earth tones adding complexity to this finely moussed glass of pleasure.

Champalou Vouvray 2018
91
Our Score
(11/2020) Champalou absolutely crushed it in 2018. From a generous vintage, this Kermit Lynch import is deliciously dry with acidity and minerality perfectly complementing the yummy overt fruit and rich texture. Complex, and featuring a long finish, this lovely Loire Valley Chenin Blanc is very enjoyable now and offers near-term aging potential as well.

Denis Breussin "Demi-Sec" Vouvray 2017
90
Our Score
(9/2021) The Breussin family has been farming in Vouvray for five generations. Vigneron Denis Breussin bottles this off-dry Chenin Blanc from old, sustainably farmed vines - it is delicious and affordable! The ripe citrus and bruised orchard fruit flavors are complicated by honey, almond butter and subtle nervy minerals. With just a kiss of sweetness, this versatile white would be great with sushi, spicy fall soups, or simply as a welcome wine for your guests.
