Tasting Notes
Famille Hugel has been producing exceptional wines in the Alsace region since 1639. This nearly 400-year legacy ensures a deep-rooted expertise and commitment to quality in every bottle of Pinot Gris Classic 2022.
Made exclusively from hand harvested grapes from predominantly clay and limestone vineyards, in a dozen of the most favored localities in and around Riquewihr. A cool and long growing season give this unique dry wine great finesse and unequalled intensity.
The robe's sparkling youthfulness give it eye-catching bright green highlights. At first this Riesling’s aromas are dashing, well-stated and floral, opening with hints of lily of the valley, elderflower and lively citrus zest. With age it takes on rocky hints of flint, tinder, hydrocarbons. The perfectly dry flavour detonates with life, energy and a clearly stated attack that remains without greenness and opens up the appetite. Lemon, lime and yusu zest roll around the mouth right up to the acidic, delicate and addict
