Domaine Huet’s 2023 Moelleux bottling from the Le Mont vineyard is simply beautiful on both the nose and the palate. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a complex blend of yellow plums, sweet quince, honeycomb, chalky soil tones, incipient notes of heather, apple blossoms and a topnote of gentle lanolin that will become more pronounced with the passage of time. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and seamlessly balanced, with a beautiful core of fruit, a fine spine of acidity, good soil undertow and a long, complex and moderately sweet finish. This is a very elegant, filigreed rendition of Moelleux which will age like time cannot touch it! 94 points

The 2023 Vouvray Moelleux Le Mont is a ripe, round, serious, suit-wearing wine style that`s upright and conservative. It’s sweet (74g/l) but never feels luscious, and yet there`s a tropical character to the fruit that gives richness to this reserved style. The effect of the flint is clear in the 2023’s sense of freshness. It`s textured, pure, balanced and harmonious. 95 points
