Product Notes

Famille Hugel Gentil wine is a transcendent offering from the esteemed, family-owned Hugel winery based in Alsace, France. This wine is a beautifully balanced blend of Alsace's noble white grape varieties. The Gentil is fresh, vibrant, and aromatic, offering a delightful harmony of floral and fruit flavours. There's an underlying minerality present, reflecting the rich Alsace terroir. The palate is rich and rounded, with a remarkable finish that instills a desire for another sip. This wine is a testament to the excellence Famille Hugel brings to every bottle, making it a delightful addition to any occasion.

Tasting Notes

The bouquet is youthful and refreshing, spontaneously expressing an agreeable aroma of green apple, pear, lychee, passion fruit, rose and the lightest touch of muscat. On the palate, it has a pleasant dryness, just enough to awaken the taste-buds and quench the thirst, smooth, soft and harmonious with the most elegant finish filled with harmony and a wonderful aromatic purity.
