✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hailing from the picturesque, medieval village of Riquewihr, Famille Hugel has been crafting wine in Alsace since 1639. The Pinot Noir Jubilee represents the pinnacle of their red winemaking, historically created to celebrate the family's tricentenary. Sourced from choice clay-limestone parcels in Riquewihr, this wine showcases the exceptional potential of Alsatian Pinot Noir, which has grown in the region since the Middle Ages. It is crafted from 100% Pinot Noir, hand-harvested, and aged in oak barrels. The result is a deeply concentrated, structured red that marries Alsatian mineral purity with Burgundian complexity, showing dark cherry, forest floor, and delicate spice notes.
