Huet Vouvray Clos du Bourg Sec 2024 (750ml)
Product price
Description
Domaine Huet's Clos du Bourg Sec is a dry Chenin Blanc from Vouvray, in France's Loire Valley. The 2024 vintage captures the mineral precision and aging potential that have made this appellation essential to serious white wine drinkers for generations.
This wine holds back at first, revealing grapefruit, candied citrus, lime, and white flowers as it opens in the glass. The palate is dense and structured, with medium to full body and a phenolic grip that gives it backbone and slight austerity. A tannic mid-palate leads into a gently bitter finish, the whole thing refined but demanding. With only eight grams of residual sugar per liter, it's bone-dry and built for patience, this is a wine that will benefit from cellaring before it softens into its best self.

Expert Reviews
More introverted and shy in comparison to Haut-Lieu, the 2024 Vouvray Clos du Bourg Sec wafts from the glass with aromas of grapefruit, confit citrus, lime and spring flowers. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and phenolic, it's slightly austere with a tannic mid-palate that leads to a gently bitter finish. This refined yet structured wine needs some time in the cellar to chill out. Residual sugar: eight grams per liter.
