Tasting note
This is a wine that presents well; youthful, dense, a nice full structure, rounded, warm and powerful. The legs are very well structured, smooth and velvety, with pastel yellow and lime tree blossom green highlights and a lovely brilliance over a silvery crystalline base. The bouquet is direct, well-stated, dense and harmonious with a refreshing ethereal touch. Pleasing youthful and attractive. Very harmonious. Apricot, liquorice, yellow peach, honey, lily, reseda, a little smoky, rhubarb, lime, yuzu. On the palate it has harmonious sensations of softness it is smooth, sophisticated, rounded and filled with a charm that is well structured with a superb vivacity and an ethereal scented finish. It has a lot of character with a nice expression of its limestone growing conditions which give it a long-lasting foundation.
Wine-food combination
Highly recommended with gastronomic cuisine involving sea or freshwater fish in sauce, freshwater shrimp. Langoustine, John Dory, white meat, game terrines.
Vinification
Gravity feed presses, no pumping or other handling. After a few hours of decanting the must is then transferred to vats for fermentation at a carefully controlled temperature (18 to 24°C). Part of the wine (around 30%) was fermented in six to ten wine Burgundy barrels; this gives the wine body without the addition of any oaky character. A single racking before winter allowing the wine to clarify naturally without any artificial cold treatment. The wine is then lightly filtered in spring before bottling. The bottles are then laid down in our cellars before commercialisation. The whole of the vintage was corked with DIAM, the cork without cork taint.
Location Vineyard
Grapes carefully selected from within the Hugel Family estate including a high proportion from the Pflostig, strongly influenced by the chalky soils of Riquewihr.The grapes have been handpicked into small containers such that they arrive intact to the press.
