Domaine Huet - Vouvray Pétillant Brut 2019 750ml (12.5% ABV)

$52.00

Since its founding in 1928, Vouvray’s Domaine Huet has been the standard-bearer for great, age-worthy Chenin Blanc. And to this day, year after year, the estate produces some of the world’s most compelling ... wines. Today, Domaine Huet may be making its most consistently great wines. As was one of the earliest adopters of biodynamic practices, and with years of experience working with the appellation's greatest terroirs, winemaker Jean-Bernard Berthome (2019 was his final vintage! After 40 years at the domaine) and his team are achieving a fascinating level of transparency, purity, and knife-edged balance in the wines.

Domaine Huet has a wondrous nickname for Chenin Blanc: Plan du Clair de Lune, translating to “the Vine of the Moonlight”.
