Hugel, Pinot Gris "Classic" Alsace, France 2022

The Hugel Classic Pinot Gris is rich and full but still dry. It pairs perfectly with terrines, white meats and fish in sauce. The most discreet of all Alsace varieties in primary aromas, Pinot Gris enjoys the best aging potential.

At first sight, a straw-yellow robe with nice, slightly coppery highlights. The aroma is youthful; the variety has yellow fruit and floral notes that remain in their most simple state when the wine is in its early years. Once aged in the bottle there will be hints of more mature fruit: fig, apricot, pear and the more typical notes of noble wood, waxed furniture and undergrowth that will add further to its complexity.

The flavor is rounded and mouth-watering, light yet full-bodied and held together with the property’s typical sense of equilibrium by a pleasantly acid structure that makes it a perfect table wine.
