Famille Hugel Alsace Pinot Gris Classic 2024

Famille Hugel’s 2024 Pinot Gris Classic is an expressive Alsace white, pairing ripe orchard and stone-fruit character with a lively thread of freshness. Made by a family whose winemaking history in Riquewihr dates to 1639, it offers a classic taste of the region’s distinctive Pinot Gris style.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a clear golden-yellow hue. Its aromatic profile brings together melon, Golden Delicious apple and ripe apricot, with notes of acacia honey and orange blossom. On the palate, a full-bodied texture is balanced by bright freshness, leading to a juicy, satisfying finish with an elegant hint of spice. Enjoy it while its fruit is fresh and vibrant. The information provided does not specify a particular aging window.

Production
The grapes come from around 30-year-old vines in the heart of Alsace, between Riquewihr and Colmar, where clay-limestone soils contribute aromatic intensity and structure. They are selectively hand-harvested and moved to the presses by gravity, then gently pressed to obtain the first-press juice. After settling, fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in casks or tanks; the wine is then naturally clarified through careful racking, lightly filtered in spring and matured in casks or tanks before resting in the estate’s underground cellars.

Food & Serving
Its fruit, freshness and subtle spice make it a natural match for spiced Asian dishes, rich shellfish and fresh cheeses. Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C. Decanting is not necessary; allow the wine a little time in the glass to open if desired.

Producer
Hugel & Fils has been based in Riquewihr since 1639 and is a long-established family name in Alsace.
