The 2016 Clos du Bourg Moelleux from Domaine Huët is an exceptional young wine in the making, with a depth and intensity that is almost a match for the 2015 Première Trie version, but without the same heavy influence of botrytis. The bouquet is deep, primary and stunning, wafting from the glass in a mix of pear, pineapple, sweet quince, honeycomb, chalky soil, spring flowers and orange peel. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and vibrant, with great depth at the core, laser-like focus, beautiful soil signature and a very, very long, nascently complex and energetic finish. This is a puppy and will demand some extended hibernation to start to show all of its layers of complexity, but when it is ready for the primetime, it will be legendary juice!
