The 2010 Le Haut Lieu Sec is an utterly superb and crystal clear bottle of young Vouvray Sec. The deep and truly lovely nose offers up a very classic blend of lemon, quince, chalky soil tones, a touch of youthful lanolin, bee pollen and a topnote of orange peel. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and full-bodied, with a rock solid core of fruit, beautiful focus and nascent complexity, crisp acids and superb length and grip on the bright, transparent and snappy finish. 2010 may well be the finest young vintage for the dry wines from Domaine Huët as I have ever had the pleasure to taste! A great wine, the 2010 Le Haut Lieu Sec will most likely offer p a couple of years of early accessibility and then shut down for the remainder of this decade.. 2020- 2075+. 93+.

Super racy, floral and pure, with enticing ginger, quince and mineral flavors that ripple through the filigreed finish. Lovely orange blossom and honeysuckle notes fill in the background. Dry, but still generous, with impressive length. Best from 2013 through 2018. -JM
