Domaine Huet - Vouvray - Le Haut-Lieu - Blanc - 2020

Wine:

With its majestic, refined balance, the 2020 white Vouvray Demi-Sec Le Haut-Lieu is fresh, with pure floral and yellow fruit notes. The barely acidic juice completely disregards sugar, and it's hard to believe this is a semi-dry wine, with barely perceptible sweetness and a dominant minerality. Still extremely dashing and nuanced, stretched by beautiful bitters, it's already proving so delicious!
