Huet Vouvray Clos du Bourg Sec Biodynamic 2023 750ml

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2023 

John Gillman 94 Points | Domaine Huët’s 2023 Clos du Bourg Sec bottling is also excellent. The wine is deep, complex and beautifully focused on the nose, wafting from the glass in a mix of quince, apple, a touch of pink grapefruit, complex, chalky soil tones, lanolin, beeswax and a topnote of gently musky white flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and shows a bit more mid-palate weight than the Le Haut Lieu and Le Mont Sec bottlings in 2023, with sound acids, excellent balance and grip and fine lift on the long and complex finish. It will not be criminal to open a bottle or two of the Clos du Bourg Sec 2023 in its early days, but if one buys a case, make sure to tuck at least nine of the bottles away for the long haul.

The Wine Spectator 93 Points | Alluring and aromatic this seduces with honeysuckle quince and orchard fruit wrapped in salty leesy notes on the palate with a hint of toast. Salty density builds toward the finish with bitter mineral notes bringing balance along with the tangy mouthwatering acidity. Hints of garlic scape and alpine herbs make for a fresh clean finish. Built to last. Drink now through 2037. 1350 cases made.

James Suckling 93 Points | The aromas of floral honey, cashew nuts and butter are married to a brioche character reminiscent of good Champagne, but this is completely still. On the medium-bodied palate, the interplay of honeyed creaminess and elegant acidity is enchanting, the wine gliding over your palate. Long, supple finish. From biodynamically grown grapes.
