Gaston Huet, and then son in law Noel Pinguet carried the estate into the 21st century.

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. With the Première Côte's shallowest, stoniest soils, its wines often synthesize Le Mont's intense minerality with Le Haut-Lieu's generous texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"fizz-text-large fizz-stack-16\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"White Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46677213282503,"sku":"12951","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/5663\/4311\/files\/IMG_2420.jpg?v=1781917347","url":"https:\/\/villagewinemerchant.com\/products\/2024-domaine-huet-vouvray-le-haut-lieu-sec","provider":"The Village Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
