Domaine HUET - Cuvée Constance - Moelleux 2018
Domaine Huet is located in Vouvray , in the Loire Valley. Founded in 1928 by Victor Huet and his son Gaston , the estate today has 30 hectares of Chenin Blanc planted on three plots: le Haut-Lieu, le Mont and Clos du Bourg . Huet was one of the precursors of biodynamic cultivation in 1988.
During the harvest, the bunches are picked in successive passages and at optimal maturity according to the desired style of wine, then each plot is vinified separately. The whole bunches are put into the presses without crushing or crushing where they are gently pressed. After settling for 24 hours, the grape juice is poured into two parts: one is put into vats, the other into old barrels. The fermentation time varies depending on the richness of the must and the activity of the native yeasts. Each vintage is kept for 6 months until bottling.
The Constance vintage pays homage to Madame Huet, Gaston’s mother. It comes from the most concentrated juices of the three terroirs of Domaine Huet and produced in exceptional vintages in small quantities.
Grape variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
