Tasting notes
If you prefer clear and aromatic fruit, an accessible and uncomplicated though also ambitious and complex Chenin Blanc, Huet's 2012 Vouvray Clos du Bourg Sec could be your choice. Dusty flavors of crushed limestone intertwined with peach, quince and lemon flavors on the very intense, powerful and deep nose migrate to a full-bodied, aromatic, very pure and salty, highly mineral and complex palate; there is a tension-filled and very compact finish with grip, and a powerful and persistent finish. This should be a great wine with lobster and other shellfish today, but also in 50+ years.
