Clos Du Bourg

1990 Vouvray White Blend

The Huet Clos Du Bourg from the renowned Vouvray region stands as a stunning example of a white blend. This 1990 vintage showcases a beautifully vibrant golden hue that hints at its age while still exuding vibrancy. On the nose, it presents captivating aromas of ripe stone fruit mingled with floral notes, underscored by a delicate minerality that speaks to the pristine terroir of the Loire Valley. The palate delights with a medium-bodied texture that is supported by bright acidity, adding an uplifting freshness to the experience. Its fruit intensity is prominent, delivering flavors of luscious apricot and honeyed citrus, balanced by an elegant dryness. The wine finishes with a firm structure, making it not only a remarkable standalone sip but also a perfect companion for a variety of culinary delights. The Huet Clos Du Bourg is a splendid choice for those who appreciate the depth and complexity of well-crafted Vouvray wines.

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
