Bright energy defines the 2024 Domaine Huet Le Haut-Lieu Sec, with zesty lime and crisp orchard fruit riding over a stony spine and a gentle touch of residual sweetness. Herbal and floral accents add complexity, while a fine, pithy edge keeps the finish long, tense and precise. This vintage feels particularly racy and focused, promising more texture and nuance with a few years in bottle.

Le Haut-Lieu Sec is Domaine Huet’s dry Chenin Blanc from the historic Le Haut‑Lieu plateau in Vouvray — a south‑facing, clay‑over‑tuffeau site the estate first bought in 1928. Farmed biodynamically and vinified with gentle, often neutral‑oak maturation, the wine shows bright citrus and stone‑fruit notes framed by chalky minerality, fine saline tension and racy acidity; it’s approachable young yet built for long ageing.
