Huët Vouvray Le Mont Demi-Sec 2022

95 points Rebecca Gibb, MW (Vinous): "The 2022 Le Mont Demi-Sec is less fruity and charming than, say, Clos du Bourg; its tension and line come from its flinty terroir. Despite its 21g/L residual sugar, it retains a sense of tautness without being totally linear. Radish and pear notes linger on the long finish. This is grown-up demi-sec. Drink: 2024-2038. (Oct 2023)"

95 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Let's continue with the demi-sec from Le Mont. With the same purity, the sweetness of the residual sugars underlines the saltiness of this pure, dynamic white, beautifully stretched on the finish. (2024)"

94 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2022 Vouvray “le Mont” Demi-Sec from Domaine Huët is another stellar young wine. It is just a touch riper than the le Haut Lieu version, coming in at 13.5 percent octane this year. The wine offers up a beautiful young bouquet of sweet quince, pear, honeycomb, a gorgeous base of limestone minerality, gently musky floral tones and a touch of lanolin in the upper register. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and shows off superb depth at the core, with fine mineral drive and cut, a lovely spine of acidity, excellent balance and a long, complex and very, very promising finish. Today, this does not share the ethereal lift and beauty of the 2022 le Haut Lieu Demi-Sec, but that quality may just be buried behind the beautiful veneer of ripe fruit today. 2023-2085. (Jul/Aug 2023)"

94 points Wine Spectator: "This has the structure and bitter-edged minerality to carry its weight and ripeness, with beeswax and white tea notes that overlay crunchy orchard fruit and pink grapefruit with peppery spice notes woven in. A lot of savory detail and acidity makes this superbalanced and very food-friendly. Drink now through 2035. (11/30/23)"
