Hugel Riesling Schoelhammer 2014 is a dry Riesling from the Alsace region of France. This cuvée is sourced from an individual parcel of 30 rows in the heart of the Schoenenbourg Grand Cru, where the soil is dominated by Keuper marl. The 2014 vintage in Alsace was defined by high acidity and great aromatic precision, which is perfectly captured in this late-release bottling. The nose is complex and evolving, showing notes of preserved lemon, white flowers and the signature `petrol` notes associated with mature Riesling. On the palate, the wine is powerful and structured, with a deep mineral core and a vibrant acidity that provides incredible lift.

Hugel`s 2014 Riesling Schoelhammer opens with a clear and remarkably fine and herbal bouquet that indicates perfectly ripe and concentrated fruit that is reminiscent of ripe mirabelles. On the palate, this is a rich and textural, very elegant and refined yet highly complex and long-lasting Schoenenbourg that combines power with incredible finesse. The finish is very long, stimulating and complex due to the remarkably fine saline acidity. This is a stellar Riesling from Alsace, and although I didn`t taste it along with the great 2010, I dare say this is possibly the finest Schoelhammer Hugel has produced so far. 13.5% stated alcohol. Diam cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.

The 2014 Riesling Schoelhammer is from a single parcel in the heart of the midslope of the Schoenenbourg Grand Cru, with more clay than usual. Shyness on the nose allows a touch of waxiness and wet earth to shine through. Having just tasted the 2014 Grossi Laüe, also from the Schoenenbourg, the youthfulness of this is astonishing - especially since the Grossi Laüe is only just starting to open up. Here, the main notions are not chamomile but citrus, namely dried lemon peel. It has that same emollient, balm-like nature of the Schoenenbourg site but an inner density that is immense but channeled into the smoothest, calming, profound energy. The finish is long, chalky, creamy, lemony and so sustained. You need not be in a hurry to drink this at all. (Bone-Dry)Anne Krebiehl4th April 2024
