100% Chenin Blanc from France. Founded in 1928 by WW1 veteran Victor Huet. Gaston Huet, and then son in law Noel Pinguet carried the estate into the 21st century. American Tony Hwang infused new ownership into the estate in 2002 and cellar master Jean Bernard Berthom succeeded Pinguet as winemaker in 2012. For many insiders, the argument over Vouvray's greatest vineyard comes down to two sites: Le Mont and Clos du Bourg. Indisputably a grand cru vineyard, Le Mont enjoys a choice site on the Première Côte. With less clay and more stone than Le Haut-Lieu, Le Mont yields young wines of intense minerality. With age, the wines develop great length and finesse. This wine is 100% Vouvray which is vinified to remain slightly sweet, which is in Sarah's opinion the ultimate expression of Vouvray.
