Domaine Huët’s 2022 Vouvray “le Mont” Moelleux is another prodigiously beautiful young wine. The bouquet is deep, precise and shows a lovely touch of exotica in its aromatic constellation of sweet quince, pear, orange blossoms, white lilies, honeysuckle, chalky soil tones, honeycomb and bee pollen. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and a bit sweeter in personality than the le Haut Lieu Moelleux, with stunning depth at the core, a fine girdle of acidity, great focus and grip and a long, complex, seamlessly balanced and dancing finish. Great juice.

The 2022 Le Mont Moelleux is a medium-sweet, tender style that is just so welcoming and appealing. It is the quiet type that doesn't show off. It offers breadth without weight, which I always like about the Huet wines - they're like clouds of Chenin floating over your palate. A fine floral and fruity fragrance reminiscent of lilac, pear and pineapple lingers off the tranquil finish. While the acidity in 2022 is a little gentle, it still has enough tension to sweep up the wine and hold it all together. A little more length and line would elevate it further. (51g/L RS, in case you're interested).
