"Domaine Huet is the benchmark for Vouvray in the Loire Valley. They have been arbiters of quality since inception and have continued to push what that actually means by diving deep into biodynamic farming, providing healthy soils to further help their grapes to thrive.Huet's Vouvray Petillant is a gently sparkling style of Chenin Blanc, created using the Ancestral Method. With this method, the wine finishes its primary fermentation in the bottle, creating a light and softer fizz than the Traditional Method of Champagne.
This wine is complex and layered with aromas of ripe stone fruit, sweet citrus, honeysuckle, and pollen. The palate is flavorful and broad textured, featuring fine and persistent bubbles around a core of fruit and minerality. Enjoy this beautiful bubbly with Korean fried chicken wings or baked brie with fruit compote and of course creamy cheeses like camembert or even a young gruyere."
