2010 Domaine Huet Clos du Bourg

We were fortunate enough to find this wine at the Wine Exchange in Orange, California. We enjoy the wines from Domaine Huet. But, after reading Wine and War by Don and Petie Kladstrup, I am beginning to understand what is meant by the French term "terroir" and vintage. The Kladstrups were inspired to write the book when they did a tasting with Gaston Huet. Huet poured his wine and asked the Kladstrups to guess what year it was. It was a 1947 Vouvray and Huet had a story to go with that vintage. It was about his experiences during World War II.
As aspiring viticulturists and enologists, we are coached to have a story that goes with our wine, but how can a newly minted winemaker have a story?
When I drank this Vouvray, I tasted the lemony fruit and the delicious mouthfeel, but most of all I remembered the great story told in Wine and War about Gaston Huet and his struggle for survivial during World War II and his return to his vineyard after the end of the War. Now, that is a story! And this is a great wine!
