"Domaine HuĂ«tâs 2011 Sec from the Clos du Bourg is the pick of the litter amongst these three vineyards in 2011 at this level of sweetness, offering up a pure and classic nose of lemon, tangerine, lovely minerality, a touch of honey, lemon zest and a gentle note of lanolin in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very precise in its focus, with solid mid-palate depth, outstanding mineral drive (particularly for the vintage) and a very long and complex finish. This does not have the usual grip of a top vintage of Clos du Bourg, but it does have all the complexity that this great vineyard is justly famous for and the wine should drink well for at least a dozen years. Fine juice and a Herculean effort for the vintage."
