Domaine Huet Vouvray Sec Le Mont (2021)

Brilliant pale-straw color. The nose is intensely perfumed with loads of citrus and florals, plus a mix of tangerine, ruby grapefruit, peach, acacia, and jasmine. Exotic flavors carry beyond the nose to the palate in the form of ginger, cumin, and anise. The wine is dense, with a minerality and salinity that evoke the flinty soil from which it is grown. A pithy finish, with a mix of honeycomb and citrus zest. A wine that is sure to develop for years to come, if you can resist its brilliance in the short term. Drink now–2035.
