Product Notes
Famille Hugel Grossi Laüe Riesling wine is a classic, refined expression of the iconic Alsace region. It presents a golden hue with a delicately fragrant nose, intertwining floral essences and stone fruits with an underlying hint of minerality. On the palate, this wine delivers a sophisticated harmony of ripe peach, crisp green apple, and engaging citrus nuances, underpinned by a chalky mineral edge. With a well-structured body, vivid acidity and remarkable longevity, Hugel's Grossi Laüe Riesling beautifully encapsulates the unique character of its vineyard origin and stands as an exquisite testament to the family's viticultural acumen.
Tasting Notes
The wine's colour is the young, fresh, pale green of pistachio nuts and spring lime-tree foliage with silver highlights; it has a wonderful intensity, an alert dynamic brilliance and significant legs. The bouquet is a clear, precise and frank statement of youthfulness with an agreeably perfumed fruity and floral expression of aroma which leaves an impression of healthy and juvenile freshness; there is also an elegantly subtle hint of minerality at first which will become more stated after a few years laid down. The aroma combines spring flowers, fern, almond tree and pistachio nuts, white peach, lemon grass with a hint of salt from the chalky mineral-rich soil. There is the notable signature of the great wine-making region which is typical to a Riesling. On the palate it is clearly a dry Riesling of the highest quality with a full, broad, juicy and strong structure, complimented with a wonderful astringency which adds length and character to the flavour. There is also a remarkably harmonious after-taste.
