Vouvray moelleux - Domaine Huet
96/100 Parker & 96/100 Wine Spectator
Ageing potential: 2023 - 2060
Tasted in 2023 by Stephan Reinhardt: ‘The 2018 Vouvray Cuvée Constance, white to golden yellow in colour, is deep, very clear, fresh and refined with a slightly smoky nose reminiscent of small pineapples, stone fruit, lemon and quince aromas intertwined with a very delicate and fine flint in all its richness, this is a full-bodied Vouvray Chenin, very elegant but intense, saline and very persistent. with an almost endless finish. The acidity is very fine, but vital and delicious, and carries this brilliant beauty to a very long, intense, but still delicate and stimulating finish. 11.5% declared alcohol. Natural cork.’
