Recognised since the 15th century as one of the most distinguished sites in Vouvray, Le Mont was also known locally as Perruches, a name for the greenish-tinged clay soils flecked with fist-sized pebbles of flint. Purchased by Huet in 1957, the steep, rocky eight-hectare vineyard lies on the Première Côte, overlooking Tours. Its argilo-siliceux soils, stony with green mineral clays and flint over limestone, provide the tight structure and pungent minerality Le Mont is renowned for. With less clay and more stone than Haut-Lieu, this site typically produces the nerviest wines in the Huet stable.

When young, these dry wines are pent-up, intense and mineral: chalky, smoky-fresh, wonderfully pure and racy. With age, the top examples mature at a snail's pace to become some of the most intriguing dry whites on the planet, moving from white flowers, citrus pith and crunchy fruit to something deliciously honeyed, buttery, savoury and autumnal. Huet's secs carry between 4 and 8 g/L residual sugar depending on the vintage, making them go-to wines for seafood and white meat in their youth.

Yohan Castaing of The Wine Advocate awarded 93 points, writing: "Delicate, vibrant aromas of pear and white peach mingled with spring blossoms introduce the 2024 Vouvray Le Mont Sec. Medium- to full-bodied, it is both dense and lively, built around a fleshy core of fruit, bright acidity and a slightly incisive texture that carries through to a long, ethereal and finely saline finish. Purer and more mineral than Clos du Bourg, this is a crystalline expression of Vouvray."
