Domaine Huet Vouvray Le Mont Moelleux 2003 (Museum Release)

Purchased in 1957, the steep, rocky, eight-hectare vineyard of Le Mont lies on Vouvrays esteemed Premire Cte, part of a bank of limestone-rich hillside vineyards overlooking Tours. This block’s argilo-siliceux soils (stony with green mineral clays and flint over limestone) provide the tight structure and pungent minerality that Le Mont is renowned for. With less clay (and a different type of clay) and more stone than Le Haut-Lieu, this site typically produces the nerviest wines of the Huet stable, so mostly dry and off-dry whites are produced from this vineyard.
