Hugel Estate Riesling 2020 showcases the expertise of Famille Hugel, an Alsatian producer with a history dating back to 1639 in Riquewihr. Sourced from carefully selected, hand-harvested grapes, this wine comes primarily from clay and limestone soils. The utilisation of steep, sun-drenched slopes enhances its expression. The 2020 vintage features a characteristically dry profile, maintaining a straightforward approach with notes of citrus and stone fruit.

The 2020 Riesling Estate is from marly soils around Riquewihr, including the upper part of the grand cru Schoenenbourg. The nose is discreet yet complex and layered with flinty and earthy aromas as well as yellow paprika notes. Very elegant and refined on the palate, this is an intense, saline and structural Riesling with fine tannins, lots of salt and a serious, maybe even somewhat austere personality. The 2020 surely has an excellent aging capacity and will further improve in the bottle. 14% stated alcohol. Diam cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024. - Stephan Reinhardt
92 Vinous
The 2020 Riesling Estate was picked across marl sites in Riquewihr, mainly the declassified grapes from the Schoenenbourg Grand Cru, especially the young vines. It opens with a serene lift of dried chamomile and dried lemon peel. With an exquisite and subtle phenolic frame, the palate also channels these herbal and citrus notions. Still, it smooths them with an incipient, balm-like mouthfeel on a linear yet limestone-buffered body. This is streamlined, aromatic and lifted, and will only increase with age. It says Alsace with the first whiff and will be emblematic of a bone-dry, balanced and understated Riesling. (Bone-Dry)
