Huët Vouvray Le Mont Moëlleux 2023

96 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "Pouring a youthful yellow/golden hue, the 2023 Vouvray Moelleux Le Mont offers spicy notes of ginger, yellow flowers, poached golden apples, hay, and freshly rained-on asphalt. Medium-bodied, it excels and takes things to the next level with its texture, and its sweetness feels both luxurious and weightless. This exceptional offering has tremendous potential for aging and pairings. Drink over the coming 15 years or more. Drink: 2024-2040. (Oct 2024)"

96 points James Suckling: "It’s hard to imagine a dessert wine that’s better balanced than this, because the acidity and richness seem to dance across your palate. It’s dense and complex, with myriad aromas of dried fruit, candied citrus, floral honey and fresh garden herbs, but the final impression is of incredible clarity and precision. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. (10/22/24)"

95 points Rebecca Gibb, MW (Vinous): "The 2023 Vouvray Moelleux Le Mont is a ripe, round, serious, suit-wearing wine style that's upright and conservative. It’s sweet (74g/l) but never feels luscious, and yet there's a tropical character to the fruit that gives richness to this reserved style. The effect of the flint is clear in the 2023’s sense of freshness. It's textured, pure, balanced and harmonious. Drink: 2025-2046. (Jul 2024)"

94 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "Domaine Huët’s 2023 Moelleux bottling from the Le Mont vineyard is simply beautiful on both the nose and the palate. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a complex blend of yellow plums, sweet quince, honeycomb, chalky soil tones, incipient notes of heather, apple blossoms and a topnote of gentle lanolin that will become more pronounced with the passage of time. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and seamlessly balanced, with a beautiful core of fruit, a fine spine of acidity, good soil undertow and a long, complex and moderately sweet finish. This is a very elegant, filigreed rendition of Moelleux which will age like time cannot touch it! 2024-2085. (May 2024)"
