Domaine Huet is the iconic Chenin Blanc specialist, virtually synonymous with the storied Chenins of Vouvray. Founded in 1928, they were among the first producers to embrace biodynamic practices, crafting exceptionally complex, elegant, and long-lived white wines that reflect the terroir of each vineyard site they own on the Première Côte of Vouvray. With styles ranging from bone dry to sweet and sparkling, this cuvée is dry and showcases the clay and scattered flint soils of the Le Mont vineyard.  It reveals a pure and concentrated core of yellow apple and quince fruit, framed by invigorating tension, structure, and flinty limestone lift, leading to a long, vibrant finish.

Pairings: Roasted turkey with apple and sausage stuffing


What do I like to drink?

I tend to lean into ‘old world’ styles of wines - but that doesn’t mean only wines from the old world - that have great acidity to them. These wines are naturally food friendly... and I like to do some damage in the kitchen. But overall I’m a very seasonal wine drinker - warm weather has me leaning into fresh rosés and vibrant whites and when the weather turns cool, I love some Nebbiolo and heavier reds to go with the braised and richer foods of the season.
