Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: The nose presents an enchanting invitation, offering a pure and refined bouquet of fresh-crushed apples, crisp quince, and delicate pears. These bright fruit notes are interwoven with a captivating earthy dimension, hinting at wet soil, chalky minerality, and subtle nuances of spice. Some may even detect a nostalgic whisper of "candy" or fine essence of green apple blending with soft caramel notes. Palate:
- On the palate, the wine is pure, seamless, and incredibly focused. Flavors of pear, pineapple, and nectarine burst forth, supported by a vibrant and beautifully calibrated acidity that provides exceptional freshness and clarity. There's a lovely balance between generosity and restraint, with a chalky mineral element and very fine tannins providing structure. Hints of roasted agave and subtle notes of toasted almond and salted butter add further complexity, leading to a refined and compelling mid-palate.
- Finish: The finish is long, clean, and invigorating, with a bright, lime-edged acidity that cleanses the palate and leaves a lasting impression of minerality and fruit purity.
The Domaine Huet Le Haut-Lieu Vouvray Sec 2023 is a wine of profound elegance and incredible potential. While delightful in its youth, its refined structure and vibrant acidity promise excellent evolution, with the capacity to age gracefully for a decade or more. Pair this versatile Chenin Blanc with shellfish, white meats, goat cheese, or savor it on its own.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
