The 2018 Vouvray “Cuvée Constance” from Domaine Huët is a stunning young wine. The bouquet is deep, pure and youthfully complex, offering up scents of sweet quince, honeycomb, barley sugar, heather, chalky soil tones and a topnote of orange peel. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a great core of fruit, lovely soil undertow and grip, zesty acids and a long, hauntingly balanced and refined finish. This is a puppy today, but also delicious to drink in its youthful guise. I would do my best to try and hold onto bottles for at least another decade and really let the fireworks unfold!
97 points John Gilman A View From The Cellar
A heavenly wine, with a beautiful earthiness rippling through decadent flavors of poached pear, stewed apple, honeycomb, pastry and spiced fig. Stealth power underscores the up-front fruit, with steely mineral, refreshing lemon verbena and crushed dried herbs adding balance and vibrancy. A stunner.
