Clos Bourg is the jewel of Huet's three monopole vineyards, a south-facing slope of clay-rich tuffeau just outside Vouvray whose vines have been farmed biodynamically for decades. The Demi-Sec occupies a magical middle ground — neither bone dry nor overtly sweet — allowing the vineyard's character to speak with remarkable clarity. The 2022 offers ripe pear, quince, acacia honey, and a whisper of ginger spice, underpinned by Chenin Blanc's trademark stony acidity that keeps every sip focused and fresh. Rich in texture yet precise on the finish, this is a wine built to evolve gracefully over decades. One of the Loire's benchmark expressions.
"The 2022 Clos du Bourg Demi-Sec is round and appealing, akin to a cozy
night in with your slippers on; there's flesh and succulence, but it retains
its shape and a sense of lightness on its feet. The ripeness of white stone
fruit reminds me of nectarine and a heady floral character reminiscent of
honeysuckle, even verging jasmine. And yet, it shows its pedigree in its fine
texture and line. (RS 17.5g/L)
