Famille Hugel Classic Pinot Gris 2023 is a dry and gastronomic expression of Pinot Gris from Alsace. Famille Hugel describes Pinot Gris as a powerful, textured variety with excellent ageing potential, and this Classic bottling is crafted to combine richness and roundness with a distinctly dry, refreshing finish.
The grapes come from clay-limestone vineyards in and around Riquewihr, with a high proportion of estate-grown fruit. They are harvested exclusively by hand in small containers and transported intact to the presses. The must is gravity-fed into temperature-controlled vats for fermentation at 18–24°C, followed by a single racking and natural clarification. The wine is lightly filtered before bottling and subsequently aged in Hugel's cellars.
The 2023 vintage was characterised by a dry, healthy growing season in Alsace. Hugel considers 2023 an easy vintage with exceptional fruit health and quality, despite the absence of extreme heat. The resulting Pinot Gris shows a youthful profile of yellow fruit and floral aromas, with a broad, mouth-watering palate supported by fresh acidity.

Finish:
Persistent and refreshing, with lingering ripe-fruit and subtle savoury nuances.
