Tonight it was time to open my 2007 Domaine Huet Le Mont Demi-Sec Vouvray.

On the nose there is peach, apricot, persimmon, baked apple, lime, honeydew melon, jasmine and brioche.

On the palate we have wonderful notes of peach, honeysuckle, honeycomb, ripe yellow apple, lime, ginger and minerals.

This wine is medium bodied with a viscous mouthcoating mouthfeel and with this age still has mouthwatering medium + acidity that moves smoothly into a medium+ to long peach lemon mineral finish. What a treat. I thought this may be past its prime but no it is still wonderful. Just goes to show you the Loire Chenin Blanc age gracefully. Happy hump day and enjoy the end of the week. Stay safe and continued health. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂

Great to try a Demi sec - wet wool of chenin still there - mango, grilled pineapple, white pepper, honey and ginger rich botrytis dominate - a joy to drink

Cheesy and delicious! Touch of sweetness to balance the bracing acidity. Why don't more people love Chenin?? Oh well, more for me :)
