WTN: Sec on the brain

by David M. Bueker » Tue Mar 23, 2010 9:01 pm

2002 Huet Vouvray Le Mont Sec
I've heard tales of Huet that ages for 50+ years, but this is really good right now. It's all Chenin typicity, solid acidity & a rush of fruit and non-fruit flavors that defy classification. One of the best wines I have had all year. Fantastic match with my lemon & telicherry pepper chicken.

Sounds great and nice to hear about something that isn't cranky and is just delicious.

my problem with Huet is I love them (sec, demi, or mllx) young, middleaged, and older, but have trouble not drinking them all young!

And might I add, even better that this was a sec showing well, without much of the r.s. to help it through.

The richness of the texture helps a lot.

Thank-you David.
I am on my way to NC this weekend (from FL) so I will have a chance to get into the cellar and retrieve this bottling and some of the other Huet 2002's. A very timely note.
Best, Jim
