✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Famille Hugel's Pinot Gris Classic is a superb expression of a grape with a colorful history in Alsace. Locally, legend attributes the introduction of this variety to Baron Lazare de Schwendi, who supposedly brought vines back from the Hungarian town of Tokaj after his campaigns in the 16th century, leading to its historical, though now forbidden, moniker Tokay d'Alsace. Today, we know it is a color mutation of Pinot Noir originating from Burgundy. Hugel's Classic range showcases the pure, unadorned character of the grape, sourced from clay and limestone vineyards around Riquewihr. The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled vats and aged in the family's historic, large oak foudres, resulting in a Pinot Gris that strikes a perfect balance between rich, smoky complexity and vibrant, refreshing acidity. It represents the quintessential dry-yet-fleshy style that has made Alsatian Pinot Gris a favorite of sommeliers worldwide.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Famille Hugel blev grundlagt i 1639 i den maleriske middelalderlandsby Riquewihr og er et af de mest hæderkronede og berømte vinhuse i Alsace. Vingården har været drevet uafbrudt gennem mere end tolv generationer af Hugel-familien og forener historiske familieejede vinmarker med nøje udvalgte druer for at hylde regionens alsidige terroir. Hugel spillede en afgørende rolle i udformningen af de officielle regler for Alsaces ædle senhøstkategorier, Vendanges Tardives og Sélection de Grains Nobles. Vinhuset nyder international anerkendelse for sine vine præget af renhed, elegance og et enestående lagringspotentiale. Her fremstilles skelsættende tørre og søde fortolkninger af Alsaces ædle druesorter – især Riesling, Gewurztraminer og Pinot Gris – som traditionstro vinificeres på over hundrede år gamle egefoudres.
