Gaston Huet, and then son in law Noel Pinguet carried the estate into the 21st century. American Tony Hwang infused new ownership into the estate in 2002 and cellar master Jean Bernard Berthom succeeded Pinguet as winemaker in 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"fizz-text-large fizz-stack-16\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"fizz-text-large fizz-stack-16\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe backbone of the estate is its three principal vineyards: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"fizz-text-large fizz-stack-16\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"fizz-text-large fizz-stack-16\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLe Haut-Lieu-The original Huet vineyard is nearly 9 hA. It has the richest soils of the domaine's three crus-a deep limestone-clay-and the wines are generally the estate's most approachable. In some vintages, small quantities from nearby estate parcels may be added to Le Haut-Lieu. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"fizz-text-large fizz-stack-16\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"fizz-text-large fizz-stack-16\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLe Mont-For many insiders, the argument over Vouvray's greatest vineyard comes down to two sites: Le Mont and Clos du Bourg. Undisputably a grand cru vineyard, Le Mont enjoys a choice site on the Première Côte. With less clay and more stone than Le Haut-Lieu, Le Mont yields young wines of intense minerality. With age, the wines develop great length and finesse. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"fizz-text-large fizz-stack-16\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fizz-surface fizz-stack-4 fizz-stack-16 s-ecahNvaY7Asx\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"fizz-text-large fizz-stack-16\"\u003eLe Clos du Bourg-Gaston Huet believed this to be the greatest of all Vouvray vineyards.
