A symbol of purity and precision, the Riesling “Hugel” Estate embodies the elegance of Alsace’s king grape variety in its finest expression. The nose reveals delicate aromas of citrus, white flowers, and damp stone, typical of the great limestone terroirs around Riquewihr. On the palate, the texture is chiseled and straightforward, with vibrant acidity and persistent minerality that give it remarkable aging potential. This cuvée comes from vines located exclusively on plots belonging to the Hugel family, cultivated with the greatest care. Perfect for enhancing seafood, grilled fish, refined Asian cuisine, or traditional sauerkraut.

Domaine Hugel is a legendary Alsace vineyard, synonymous with excellence and tradition. For nearly 400 years, this family estate has produced wines that embody the soul and richness of the Alsatian terroir. Passed down from father to son for twelve generations, the Hugel family passionately cultivates noble grape varieties such as Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris.

The estate covers 30 hectares of vines located on the best slopes of Riquewihr, most of which are classified as Grand Cru, complemented by 110 hectares of vineyard partners. Each bottle reflects ancestral know-how and a modern approach to winemaking, combining precision, elegance, and purity.

Hugel white wines are true works of art: mineral Rieslings, expressive Gewurztraminers, and harmonious Pinot Gris. Their dry, unpretentious style highlights the grape variety’s distinctive character and the finesse of the Alsatian climate. Their vintages are equally suited to aperitifs, fine dining, or cellaring.

A pioneer of Late Harvests and Selections of Noble Grains, Hugel helped establish the strictest French AOC regulations for these exceptional wines. The estate’s historic cellars house century-old tuns, including the famous “Sainte Catherine” barrel dating from 1715, still in use today.

Hugel wines are perfect for lovers of fine wines and those wishing to discover the best of Alsace in a bottle. An iconic house that combines tradition, innovation, and impeccable quality, recognized in more than 100 countries around the world.
