Huet is the nonpareil of Vouvray’s succulent moelleux style (pronounced mweh-leuh; literally 'like marrow', referring to the fleshy texture). Falling between 40 and 80 g/L of residual sugar—always fully balanced by high acidity—the wines are made mainly from grapes dried on the vine (passerillage) as opposed to botrytised. Huet’s moelleux can be surprisingly fine and delicate with filigree lightness—think of a great Mosel rather than Sauternes to get an idea of weight. They match brilliantly with cheeses and a range of savoury meat dishes. Only the richest years can work with fruit and tart-based desserts (ideally, nothing too sweet). In short, the balance can be dumbfounding—these mouth-watering, racy, transparent wines are simply outstanding.

"The 2023 Vouvray Moelleux Clos du Bourg is a very peaceful wine, hushing the drinker. It reminds me of sitting on a pew in an empty church. Seamless, tranquil and un-showy, its sweetness lends silkiness to its core and allows it to bloom. Aromatically, there's not much going on here at the moment, but it is quite young and has ample length and purity. This is satisfying, calm and meditative, with fine texture and a cooling minty note on the long finish. It was only bottled three weeks ago, but I'm a fan already. The 2023 finished at 74 grams per liter of residual sugar, with a pH of 3.45."

“It’s hard to imagine a dessert wine that’s better balanced than this, because the acidity and richness seem to dance across your palate. It’s dense and complex, with myriad aromas of dried fruit, candied citrus, floral honey and fresh garden herbs, but the final impression is of incredible clarity and precision. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold”
