The Huet winery, founded in Vouvray in 1928 by Victor Huet and his son Gaston, is one of the most important wineries on the Loire, indeed in the whole of France. The 35 hectares of the business are divided into three monopoly-owned vineyard sites. Le Haut-Lieu is the winery's original vineyard. Gaston Huet bought Le Mont in 1957. Acquired in 1953, the Clos du Bourg dates back to the 8th century and its six hectares are surrounded by an ancient stone wall.
Gaston Huet considered it the most important vineyard in Vouvray and its wines are certainly the most powerful and lively. The winery has belonged to the Hwang family since 2003. Noël Pinguet, Gaston Huet's son-in-law, sold the house at the time, but led it to worldwide fame until his departure in 2012. Today Sarah Hwang, external operations manager Jean-Bernard Berthomé and oenologist Benjamin Joliveau run the Biodyvin winery.
