Domaine Huet is one of the world’s greatest wine estates...period. The off-dry and sweet Vouvray from Huet are legendary, rivaling even Chateau d’Yquem for the ubiquitous title of greatest sweet wine. Domaine Huet was founded in 1928 when former Parisian bistro owner, Victor Huet, moved to Vouvray and purchased the famed Le Haut-Lieu vineyard. Victor, joined by his son Gaston, quickly established Huet as one of France’s greatest wine estates. By 1937 Gaston was head of the domaine and crafting the finest examples of Chenin Blanc. The legacy continues at Huet, where the greatest examples of off-dry and sweet Chenin Blanc are still bottled. The quality and purity of the wines today, rival even the legendary 1947 Huet (#6 of Decanter’s 100 Greatest Wines). These are wines that are alluring and compelling while young, yet are marvelous when aged. Widely considered as some of the world’s best aging wines, aged Huet is coveted as much as old Chateau d’Yquem and the best of the best of German Riesling.
By now, if you are unfamiliar with Huet, you are probably wondering just how expensive these wines will be? Here’s the real surprise and benefit of Huet: many of the wines can be acquired for under $40 per bottle! Given the track record, prestige, and quality - Domaine Huet is one of the greatest smart buys on the wine market today. Cheers, Jeremy PS...all Huet in-stock are 20% off for the month of April. |
