🏰 【The pinnacle of sweet Chenin Blanc, Domaine Huet's Cuvée Constance is a monumental sweet wine made only in the greatest vintages from specially selected berries, standing toe to toe with any in the world】. Named after Gaston Huet's mother, Constance, this wine is exclusively produced in exceptional sweet-wine vintages, with 2018 being one of them and only the third bottling of the previous decade. The 2018 vintage was a hot year in the Loire, perfect for ripening Chenin Blanc to exotic beauty. It's a blend of the most concentrated botrytised fruit from all three of Huet's big-ticket vineyards. This wine displays a white to golden-yellow color. The nose is deep, very clear, fresh, and refined, with slightly smoky notes reminiscent of baby pineapples, stone fruits, lemon, and quince aromas intertwined with a very delicate flintiness. It offers an intense interplay of luscious fruit and savory undertones, displaying baked apple, candied orange peel, and fresh apricot, as well as sea salt, chalk, yeast, and ginger. The full-bodied palate shows elegance and verve, with flavors of quince, salted peach, nougat, and elderflower. Rich and sweet but with equally striking acidity and tension, it is stunningly pure, intense, and ethereal, with crystalline flavors of gingerbread, spice, and quince jelly, closing with an energetic, precise finish. 🍴 Excellent with soft cheeses and dessert. It pairs beautifully with foie gras, fruit tarts, crème brûlée, or blue cheeses. 🥂 A luxurious choice for a dessert course, a special celebration, or a thoughtful gift for a sweet wine aficionado.
