2016 Huet Vouvray Le Mont Demi Sec....$42.99 
(Mix/Match case price is $38.69)

This tilts toward the flattering side of off-dry, showing a plump feel to the core of creamed pear, white peach and yellow apple fruit. Lovely verbena, honeysuckle and mineral accents keep this balanced and driven, with a long finish that lets the fruit echo. Drink now through 2032.
Rated 95/100 The Wine Spectator


2016 Huet Vouvray Le Mont Moelleux Premiere Trie....$66.99

Juicy in feel, with an intense beam of glazed peach, dried apricot, fresh ginger and heather honey notes, backed by baked mirabelle plum accents and a flash of almond cream on the long, rich finish.

2016 Huet Vouvray Clos du Bourg Moelleux Premiere Trie....$66.99
