Chablis Grand Cru 'Les Preuses', Maison de Montille 2015
A beautifully refined Les Preuses - sleek and mineral-driven, gliding rather than pushing — layered citrus, fine chalk, a touch of almond and superb length. It’s a 2015 that leans more on elegance than weight, with the terroir doing the talking. 2015 was a warm, generous year in Chablis, producing riper fruit profiles, but the best sites - especially high on the slope in Les Preuses - retained excellent freshness. This sits firmly among the successes: ripeness in check, tension intact. Maison de Montille is the négociant arm of the revered Domaine de Montille, bringing the same philosophy of purity, restraint and terroir transparency to carefully sourced fruit. Their Chablis bottlings follow the domaine’s hallmark style: precise, mineral, elegantly handled, and never overworked.
Domaine Huet, Le Mont Moelleux Première Trie Vouvray 2018
This wine offers a rich and complex profile, a nose that combines overripe golden apples, apple kombucha, and subtle hints of doughy yeastiness, with aromas of brie, soft cheeses and dried apricots adding depth. On the palate, it is incredibly rich, almost syrupy, with a deep candied umaminess reminiscent of aged sake. Gaston Huet is a superstar of Vouvray winemaking, and from dry to sweet styles, he coaxes magic from the Chenin Blanc grape. When young, their wines are thrilling and weighty, when mature they are wondrous. With proper cellaring, Domaine Huet's Vouvray wines can age gracefully for several decades, making this wine a long-term investment for any cellar. As the Loire is so underrated compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy, prices are sensible, representing incredible value for money in the world of fine wine.
