Distilled herbal and floral essences again offer the leading impression of Huet’s 2008 Vouvray Moelleux Clos du Bourg Moelleux 1er Trie. Quince jelly, quinine, and alkaline mineral notes mingle on a rich, subtly oily, yet persistently buoyant palate. A hint of milkiness in the finish here, as well as the fact that significant bitterness goes unrelieved are attributable to the must having inexplicably gone through malo-lactic conversion before it really became wine. Still, the sense of complexity and richness-with-levity are noteworthy, and it will be interesting to see how this unprecedented wine evolves. RP
