2002 Domaine Huet Haut Lieu Vouvray Clos du Bourg Moelleux

In its 21st year now, the dark golden-yellow colored 2002 Vouvray Clos du Bourg Moelleux opens with a pure and complex, charmingly aromatic and precise bouquet of porridge, ripe stone fruits, crushed (lime-) stones and lemon zest aromas. Round and generous but also elegant and refined on the palate, this is a pretty sweet but also saline, vital and finely spicy, even tannic Vouvray with a long, saline and aromatic finish with ripe and stewed stone fruit aromas on the aftertaste. The 2002 is slowly starting to reach its perfect maturity that will keep for many years, if not decades. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in March 2023.
