I have been fortunate to taste a fair number of older Huet bottlings of unsurpassed beauty, and one of my absolute reference points to this day remains the surreal 1935 Le Haut-Lieu moelleux. This is a hauntingly profound wine, as it erupts from the glass in a magnificent mélange of caramelized bananas, toffee, orange zest, baked peaches, a myriad of chalky soil tones, rain-washed stonework and an exotic topnote of coconut. On the palate the wine is full-bodied and amazingly, still very racy, with its sweetness level now settling into that of young spätlese, brilliant focus, a magical core, and amazing freshness and brightness from the perfect acidity. The finish here is laser-like and nearly endless, with a profound blend of exotic old fruit tones and pristine terroir. Humbling juice. (Drink between 2004-2035)
