The house of Hugel was established in Riquewihr, a town in a continental cultivation area with no climatic influence from the Atlantic Ocean, in the Alsace district in 1639. The Hugel family has kept up the golden rule that “The quality of the wine depends on the grapes themselves” for more than 12 generations over 360 years and it has made its mark on grape cultivation and winemaking history. Starting with its Generic wine that expresses the characteristics of each grape variety and vintage, Hugel et Fils boasts a superior line-up with the Jubilee which is made from only handpicked harvests from the best sections, the Vendange Tardive, made from late harvested grapes and the Selection de Grains Nobles using grapes affected by noble rot. Having started on the wine lists of the finest restaurants in France, the famous name of Hugel et Fils is known all over the world and is currently exported to 120 countries.
About WineThis is the wonderful signature wine of Alsace. This richly aromatic expression of this grape variety is at its best only in Alsace.
Tasting NotesThis wine has aromas of pungent herbs, white pepper and rose petal that lead to a juicy, rose-petal scented palate. It retains a balance of textural richness and juiciness as well as an absence of austerity.
