✨ Technical Specifications
Hugel & Fils, established in 1639 in the picturesque medieval village of Riquewihr, is one of Alsace's most venerable winemaking dynasties. The 'Jubilee' Pinot Gris represents the pinnacle of the estate's production, sourced exclusively from their finest family-owned vineyards, primarily the clay-limestone soils of the Sporen. Hugel historically chose to use their proprietary 'Jubilee' designation rather than the official 'Grand Cru' labeling to signify this exceptional quality. This wine is celebrated for its opulent, dry to off-dry style, showing a masterful balance of rich texture, vibrant acidity, and complex aromas of ripe stone fruits, smoky embers, and forest floor. It is crafted using traditional large oak foudres, preserving the pure, mineral-driven expression of the Riquewihr terroir.
