"The 2006 Clos du Bourg Premier Trie is another rather recent re-release from Domaine Huët and the wine is really lovely. Like the 2007 Le Haut Lieu Demi-Sec, this wine is young, but not shut down structurally, as it wafts from the glass in a classic bouquet of oranges, quince, nectarines, chalky soil tones (that still show just a whisper of dustiness from the wine’s adolescence), orange blossoms and a gentle topnote of beeswax. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and beautifully balanced, with a fine core, lovely, creamy sweetness on the attack, bright acids and a very, very long, youthful and poised finish. A lovely wine that is drinking very well at the pleasant time, but will certainly improve exponentially in complexity with further bottle age. (Drink between 2013-2050)"

"The bouquet on the 2006 Clos du Bourg Moelleux Premier Trie is beautiful, as it offers up a very delicate and ethereal blend of pineapple, chalk, edible flowers, beautiful minerality, bee pollen and fresh apricot. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and creamy on the attack, with lovely mid-palate depth, and fine framing acids on the long, delicate and intensely flavored finish. I absolutely love the combination of delicacy and intensity that this wine delivers on both the nose and palate. Superb wine that should drink sooner than the monuments made at Huet in 2005, and a wine that should find its way into the cellar of every Loire Valley aficionado. (Drink between 2015-2045)"

"Gold colour. Lively and zesty on the nose with citrus and candied-fruit notes. Some sweetness but palate-cleansing acidity makes it thirst-quenching. Dry and lifted on the finish." 

"(Domaine Huet Vouvray Clos du Bourg Première Trie Moelleux, Dessert, France) Very dense and creamy with stacks of creme brulee and dried apricot character. On the borderline of medium- to full-bodied, the fresh, citrusy acidity making it feel lighter than it is. Wonderfully vibrant finish that pulls you back for more." 

"... deep, complex minerality swirled with honey and acacia and honeysuckle, all in a frame of crunchy golden fruit, that more mature wines display. When it comes together like this these wines can seem almost ethereal. And yet it is still so very young! ... Very fresh and precise but well covered acidity, good purity, floral overtones too, a very sweet and elegant style. A long, polished, substantial finish. This is delicious..."

"... fresh, with a fairly delicate minerally nose. It feels pure, but opens out to show richness although not in an exuberant fashion, with suggestions of sweet apple concentrate ... polished concentration. Very smoothly formed, with correct acidity, a fine balance, a bright and pure character, and a long finish."
