Huet Vouvray Sec Bourg 2013

Loire, France Domaine Huet Vouvray Sec Clos du Bourg is a white wine gem from the Loire Valley of France made of 100% Chenin Blanc. Since its founding in 1928, Vouvray's Domaine Huët has been the standard-bearer for great, ageworthy Chenin Blanc. And to this day, year after year, the estate produces some of the world's most compelling white wines. Clos du Bourg is the name of the 6-hectare vineyard in the Vouvray appellation of the Loire wine region. Gaston Huët believed this to be the greatest of all Vouvray vineyards, with the Première Côte's shallowest, stoniest soils. This is a beautiful example of the appellation and an ideal wine to enjoy with food, showing nice minerality and intense fruit.
