Vouvray-Moileau Le Mont Premier Tri 1996 Domaine Huet
Vouvray Moelleux - Le Mont Premiere Trie 1996
貴腐と酸が拮抗する、1996年のモワルー。
輝きのあるアンバーゴールドに、縁はまだ淡いレモンイエロー。アカシア蜂蜜やカリン、ドライアプリコット、洋梨のコンポートに続き、貴腐由来のサフランや蜜蝋、カルダモン、ウーロン茶のようなニュアンスが現れます。豊かな甘みを1996年特有の張りのある酸が支え、ル・モンらしい研ぎ澄まされたミネラルが余韻を引き締めます。フォアグラのテリーヌやロックフォールとともに。

Tasting note
When poured into a glass, it has a sparkling amber gold color. While it has amber nuances derived from aging, the rim still retains a pale lemon yellow, indicating healthy aging. The nose is highly multi-layered. The rich initial impression of acacia honey, quince, dried apricots, and pear compote is followed by nuances of saffron and beeswax from noble rot, a hint of cardamom, and oolong tea. Aging adds further complexity with chalky, cool mineral notes and smoky flint tones. The palate is surprisingly dense. While possessing a rich sweetness derived from residual sugar, the taut acidity characteristic of the 1996 vintage creates a structure, providing ideal tension and persistence. The texture is thick yet not heavy, and the refined minerality typical of the Le Mont parcel tightens the aftertaste. The finish is long, with nuances of bergamot, honey, and saltiness, suggesting impressive aging potential and elegance.
