This renowned estate of the Vouvray appellation, located in the Loire Valley, was elevated in less than 30 years by Noël Pinguet. His pragmatic approach to biodynamics contributed greatly to this success. Domaine Huet was indeed one of the pioneers of biodynamic farming in France, as Noël Pinguet introduced the first biodynamic practices as early as 1988.
Since 2012, Noël Pinguet has no longer been part of the estate. Founded in 1928 by Victor Huet and his son Gaston, this property has now passed into the hands of the Hwang family. It was indeed acquired by Anthony Hwang in 2004. Sarah, the daughter of the family, manages the 35 hectares entirely dedicated to whites from the white grape variety: Chenin. The vineyard is planted across three plots: le Haut-Lieu, le Mont and le Clos du Bourg. The estate produces approximately 120,000 bottles per year. The diversity of the soils gives rise to the diversity of the cuvées. The Clos du Bourg, whose shallow soil yields structured and powerful wines. In contrast, Haut-Lieu has a deep soil that gives life to supple wines. Finally, Le Mont, whose clay-silica soil is situated on the levee of the Loire, produces subtle, complex and elegant wines. Whatever the style of wine (still or sparkling), the cuvées are always of high quality owing to the excellence of the terroirs. The harvests are done by hand. The grapes are picked in successive passes, thus ensuring the harvest of "Noble Rot" in order to obtain fruit of fine ripeness and high quality. The three crus are vinified separately and each cuvée is kept for six months until bottling, which takes place in April. The Clos du Bourg moelleux cuvée, whose robe has golden highlights, offers a delicious bouquet of apples and candied pears. On the palate, notes of ginger linger through the finish. With beautiful aromatic complexity, the Mont moelleux cuvée offers wonderful energy and pleasant bitter notes on the palate. Another cuvée from the Huet estate, the Haut-Lieu demi-sec cuvée, has a beautiful golden robe and a nose of dried fruits and toasted almonds. The palate is well balanced and of fine elegance, with notes of stone fruits. Noteworthy are the estate's legendary vintages: 1947, 1959, 1989, 1990 and 1997.
