Tonight's bottle · Chalky, waxy, quietly devastating white
Domaine Huet Vouvray Sec
🇫🇷Loire Valley, France · Chenin Blanc
Chalky and lightly waxen, honeysuckle and quince with a quiet ache underneath. Loire Chenin at its most restrained — graceful on the surface, devastating in the margins. The kind of wine you don't forget.
