Huet & Foreau

 
What is one of the world’s most complex, age-worthy, terroir-driven, aromatically intense, and praised white wines? Vouvray, and its famous grape variety, Chenin Blanc. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more wildly expressive and flexible grape than Chenin. Esteemed for its profundity at all sweetness levels, its wines range from bone-dry (Sec), lightly- to medium-sweet (Demi-Sec), and dessert style (Moelleux).
 
Granted AOC status in 1936, this commune in the Loire Valley is home to Domaine Huet and Philippe Foreau, two of the finest producers within this glorious region.
 
They offer the pinnacle of quality for the appellation, though their styles and approaches differ.

Stefan and Sammie Steinmetz’s excellent cuvees first landed on our shelves in 2022. As purveyors of one of the largest, deepest, and finest collection of German Rieslings in the United States, it’s pretty hard to impress us. But impress, they did.
 
Their wines are from incredibly steep terrain along the banks of the Mosel on vines grown without fertilizers, herbicides or insecticides. Their environmentally-friendly mindset is carried into the winery, where the wines are fermented with naturally occurring yeasts and without additives or animal proteins (often found in fining agents). Their commitment to organic viticulture on challenging, steep slopes and minimal intervention winemaking yields wines of extraordinary concentration and breathtaking character.

Race On Over for Our Racines Sale!
 
One of the preeminent names in Burgundy, Étienne de Montille of Domaine de Montille, sought out land on the West Coast of America to craft Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. He approached the new project with a Burgundian sensibility, so it was only natural that he focused on the Santa Rita Hills in Santa Barbara County. (Oregon was probably his next stop.) The Santa Rita Hills region seems to pull at French hearts, as it did with the late Philippe Cambie in his joint project with Adam Lee of Siduri, named Beau Marchais.
 
And draw even more French folk, it did. Étienne shared the news with his friend Rodolphe Péters of Champagne’s top-class grower estate, Pierre Péters, who quickly signed on and became the sparkling wine consultant for the project.
