My first Demi-Sev 1938 from a pristine bottle. No significant RS left in the structure but you could see how important the sugar was to carry on until today incredible aromatics. Still very concentrated and powerful. The second vintage of Gaston Huet at the end of the estate making the wines. — 7 years ago

Bought a case of this on reputation alone. It did not disappoint. Noel Piguet knows what he's doing. Glad to have some of his wine in the cellar now that he left Huet. — 9 years ago

At No 3 with my team. Ex-1ere tranche stock released earlier this year (2014)...awaiting the 2nd one in January 2015. I had the Perlant 1969 in August. I am a strong believer in numbers so I put together the 1969 demi sec and the 1989 Close Bourg Moelleux 1ere trie from the veneered domaine Gaston Huet in Vouvray. The main difference lies in the style as opposed to vineyard characteristics, the vintage of course can add extra punch...the moelleux having a more opulent charm, roundness and melting aspect - dryer (though) on the finish. Its sister vineyard wine being more incisive, waxy (hair/wood Lacker pugency) a bit vegetal (cooked Brussels Sprouts). Drier as Demi-Sec by definition, leaner, sharper with a hint of nuttiness towards the finish. Great comparative tasting. — 9 years ago

Lingering, balanced by just the right amount of RS today, flinty, and not tired — 10 years ago

My first Condrieu? First guessed Pinot Blanc r pinot gris from Alsace given thicker body & mouthfeel.. Also echoes of chenin blanc w some rs, like Huet. Quite good but for the price point seems one is paying for real estate. Kermit imp — 8 years ago

Lean and mineral, with crisp green apple and a bit of grapefruit and lime pith. Good Electric Chenin for the AFWE. Not as rich as Huet (to which Rimmerman attempts to compare) but a serviceable food wine. — 9 years ago

Love this wine. I would have guessed huet chenin Blanc blind. Deep, rich and decadent. Tons going on here. Layers upon layers. Honey, apricots, rich lemon meringue, almost like lemons off the grill. This is not a laser beam acidity wine. This covers the entire palate. — 8 years ago

A good starter to the Huet night. The Furmint brings an interesting dimension to a sparkler. — 9 years ago

Burnt orange peel and blood orange marmalade, spiced Asian pear and dried garrigue herbs. A touch of sweetness on the front palate that leads into dried apple, quite linear yet with some weight and a punchy, taught orchard apple and mineral finish, very long. — 9 years ago

19/12/14 at 3 St James' St., from magnum. Developed and individual. Bees wax, hydromel, quince combine with some nuttiness. Open and deep flavours. Dry, mineral. Good tension. medium bodied. Spicy and citric finish. Very good and interesting wine. Macabeu (nose) and Chenin Blanc (palate) dominate, the later reminding me the character and complexity I experienced with one bottle of Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu 1995 from Dom. Gaston Huet. — 9 years ago

Ch. Hosseini, dec 30.
I intend to buy out whole foods of their stock and hoard this Normand cidre. Succulent and dry. Cloudy, with a bit of vinegar on the nose. Persistent yeast and juicy tart apple flavors with a dry wooded finish. — 11 years ago
