The 2022 vintage offers both generosity and precision, with aromas of baked orchard fruits, pineapple, saffron, and floral honey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"823\" data-end=\"1235\"\u003eMoelleux indicates a lusciously sweet wine, often crafted from grapes affected by noble rot (\u003cem data-start=\"916\" data-end=\"934\"\u003eBotrytis cinerea\u003c\/em\u003e) or with concentrated ripeness. In this vintage, the wine achieves a remarkable balance between sweetness and Chenin Blanc’s hallmark acidity, resulting in a wine that is rich yet never heavy. The texture is layered and velvety, with a crystalline structure that keeps the palate focused and vibrant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1237\" data-end=\"1524\"\u003eFermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, followed by aging in neutral oak barrels on fine lees, enhancing depth and complexity. With time, the wine will evolve toward notes of caramelized citrus, dried fruits, beeswax, and toasted nuts, gaining further nuance and integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1526\" data-end=\"1714\"\u003eThis wine pairs exceptionally well with foie gras, blue cheeses, fruit-based desserts, and spiced dishes, while also standing beautifully on its own as a contemplative, dessert-style wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1721\" data-end=\"2011\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1721\" data-end=\"1743\"\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1743\" data-end=\"1746\"\u003eDomaine Huet is one of the Loire Valley’s most revered estates and a benchmark for Chenin Blanc worldwide.
