✨ Technical Specifications
Hugel's Riesling Jubilee is a legendary dry white wine born from the prestigious, steep slopes of the Schoenenbourg Grand Cru overlooking Riquewihr. Originally created in 1939 to celebrate the Hugel family's tricentenary, this cuvée represents the pinnacle of Alsace Riesling. Historically, the Hugel family chose not to use the official 'Grand Cru' designation on their labels due to disagreements with the classification's boundaries, opting instead for the prestigious 'Jubilee' designation to signify their finest estate-grown fruit. The Schoenenbourg terroir, characterized by fertile marl, dolomite, and gypsum-rich clay soils, imparts a profound, crystalline minerality and intense structural power to the wine. Vinified in historic, large century-old oak casks with minimal intervention, this Riesling is celebrated for its laser-like acidity, rich texture, and a complex aromatic profile that evolves from vibrant citrus and white flowers into deep, petrol-infused mineral complexity over decades.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1639 in the picturesque medieval village of Riquewihr, Famille Hugel is one of the most venerable and celebrated wine producers in Alsace, France. Managed continuously by more than a dozen generations of the Hugel family, the estate combines historic family vineyards with carefully sourced fruit to champion the diverse terroirs of the region. Hugel was instrumental in establishing the official regulations for Alsace's revered late-harvest categories, Vendanges Tardives and Sélection de Grains Nobles. Renowned globally for their purity, elegance, and ageability, the winery crafts benchmark dry and sweet expressions of noble Alsace varieties, particularly Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris, vinified traditionally in century-old oak foudres.
