2015 Vouvray Cuvee Constance

Rarely produced and selected from the vineyards Le Haut-Lieu, Le Mont and Clos du Bourg, Huet's 2015 Vouvray "Cuvee Constance" offers a deep, clear, intense and concentrated nose of ripe stone fruits, peanut butter cookie, spicy, earthy-mineral and some volatile aromas. Sweet, salty, piquant and mineral with a firm structure and very elegant, concentrated, refined fruit, this is a sweet wine with great purity and mineral finesse on the very long, promising finish. The 2016 is still pretty sweet (142 grams of residual sugar) and should be cellared for at least two or three decades. Total production: 2,800 500-milliliter bottles. Tasted February 2018.
