Domaine Huet has a wondrous nickname for Chenin Blanc: Plan du Clair de Lune, translating to “the Vine of the Moonlight”. 2020 was another outstanding year in a run of great Loire vintages, and one which was especially favorable for later-ripening varieties like Chenin Blanc. This off-dry wine is beautifully balanced, zesty and rock solid at the core, with great focus and grip on the long, vibrant and nascently complex finish. Gaston Huët believed this to be the greatest of all Vouvray vineyards. With the Première Côte’s poorest, shallowest, stoniest soils, Clos du Bourg wines often produce the most powerful wine in the lineup, synthesizing Le Mont’s intense minerality with Le Haut-Lieu’s generous texture.
