Note di degustazione
From a highly regarded "low acid vintage," Huet's 2005 Vouvray Clos du Bourg Demi-Sec has a very bright citrus color and opens very discreet but precise, fresh, mineral, earthy, vegetal and herbal on the nose from the freshly opened bottle (asparagus, leek, noble mushrooms). Quite lean on the palate but very elegant and finesse-full, this full-bodied wine reveals a nice density and good tannins; it is long with a lingering purity and minerality. It could almost be a Chablis if it were more dry. Highly interesting and elegant, but still finding its way. I would cellar it for another 5-10 years at least.

The 2005 Vouvray Demi-Sec Clos du Bourg offers fresh orange, quince, and grapefruit zest on the nose, a fine, bitter-sweet inner-mouth florality, and concentration of quince, honey, toasted almond, and citrus, with strongly chalky, stony mineral underpinnings. A glossy, polished feel accentuates the sense of richness, as does, of course, the wine’s discreet residual sweetness. This is no less refined, elegant or potentially ageworthy than its predecessors, but far more exuberant than the Le Mont demi-sec, incorporating a panoply of citrus, flowers, and pit fruits.
