 Domaine Huet
Tasting Notes - 1919 to 2010 
The majority of the notes on the ancient vintages were compiled numerous visits to the domaine between September 2002 to June 2009. Some of the older wines had never been tasted by Noël himself, and on couple of occasions there was some impromptu reclassification, where wines didn’t appear to conform to the original cellar notes.

Those who are familiar with the distinctive traditional labelling of Huet should not be alarmed to find a different design applied to these more recent releases. The existing label is now owned by the newly formed Société Huet, so an alternative design has been applied to the family stock of older wines that have made their wine onto the market since 2004. All of the old wines tasted have been, or at least will be reconditioned prior to release, thus giving the purchasers a degree of security. The change in label should help to ensure traceability and provenance in future. Any half bottles noted prior to 1973 will have been 40cl as this was the traditional size prior to EU standardisation.
