2020 Hugel 'Classic' Pinot Gris Alsace
Winemaker Notes: Rich and full but still dry. The most discreet of all varieties in primary aromas, it enjoys the best aging potential. The bouquet is soft and supple, intense, characteristically open and expressive, with fully ripe fruit notes, apricot, greengage, licorice, a touch of buttery brioche, sesame seed, pistachio and fresh hazelnut. The wine fills the mouth and is well constructed, suave, velvety, soft and almost juicy, with a nice long aromatic finish.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
James Suckling - "Such a fragrant and delicately aromatic pinot gris. Super-ripe pear character plus a hint of floral honey, this has a lovely creamy texture. Remarkably long, silky finish for an entry-level wine! So delightful already, and it will give so much pleasure during the coming years. Drink or hold."
