A note of gooseberry and then slate and salt. On the palate this has an almost champagne like intensity and focus. Very bright, with a touch of smoke and fine oak, but also real clarity of finely etched flavours. Salt and fine clear fruit, bergamot and steely minerals. This is mouth-watering and delicious Chenin that has years ahead of it. Formerly known as Remus plus, Hauts de Husseau cuvee comes from multiple high old vine parcels of between 60 and 100 years old planted on poor soils with high chalk content. The wine is fermented in primarily old barriques using wild yeasts.
