Info de cata: color amarillo muy claro, casi trasparente, brillante. En nariz potencia media unos minutos despues de servirlo y al final, una hora despues todavia mejor. En nariz al principio parecia demasiado acido, pero al final para nada, estaba buenisimo, igual gracias al foie y a los quesos traidos de france...

Notas de cata (The wine doctor)Domaine Huet Vouvray Clos du Bourg Sec 2010: Residual sugar 9 g/l, alcohol 13.5%. This is much more substantial than Le Haut Lieu, which seemed rather more pretty on the nose. Instead there is polished limestone substance here. There follows a lovely palate, forceful, and the acidity seems brighter even though the figures suggest it is very slightly lower. Lovely brightness to the fruit overall. This is a lovely wine, just brimming with potential. From a 2011 Huet update. 17.5-18.5/20 (January 2011)

Sec

Any tasting of the still wines naturally begins with the sec cuvées, wines which could once be relied upon to possess in the region of 3 to 5 g/l of residual sugar. In recent years, however, it is notable that the residual has been creeping up, and most recent vintages have between 10 and 15 g/l. This is not so much sec as sec-tendre; not overtly sweet, the sugar is usually balanced out by the fine acidity, but the wines are certainly richer and more fleshy than they once were; it is a development that has not been to everybody's taste. I must confess, however, that I still find the wines very appealing, and they cellar very well indeed. At 10 to 15 years these wines are still babies, drinking beautifully, and for some this is when the drinking window truly starts. Personally I find they drink well from the very beginning, and have enjoyed Huet's sec Vouvrays at all ages, sometimes after a year or two in bottle, sometimes many more.
