Le Haut Lieu Sec

The Vouvray wines of Domaine Huet, with a worldwide reputation for its Vouvray wines, is a very old house. It has been in existence since 1928, located east of Tours on land planted exclusively with Chenin grapes. The estate extends over 35 hectares on 3 distinct properties. The first, the Mont, has a stony soil, mostly clay and containing silica. Le Haut-Lieu has a clay-limestone soil, while the third, Clos du Bourg, has a limestone soil. All these terroirs are particularly well suited to producing unique wines of remarkable precision, much appreciated by connoisseurs.

The Vouvray Huet white wines are dry, semi-dry, sweet or mellow, and all the vintages are made organically. The Huet estate is one of the precursors of the biodynamic culture. Each production benefits from a cold fermentation in used barrels. Bottling takes place the following spring. This choice highlights the excellent quality of the production of Domaine Huet. This is enhanced by the quality of its vines, which allow the development of these exceptional terroirs. Jean-Bernard Berthomé, the current vineyard manager, ensures the ideal distribution of the vines. Half of the plantations are between 30 and 50 years old, 35% are between 10 and 30 years old, while only 15% of the vines are less than 10 years old. The best vintages, in several vintages (including old ones) can be found on the Les Passionnés Du Vin website, offered in limited quantities for the rarest.
