This wine revives an ancient Alsace tradition that wines assembled from noble grape varieties were called "Gentil". Gentil "Hugel" allies the suave, spicy flavour of Gewurztraminer, the body of Pinot Gris, the finesse of Riesling, the grapiness of Muscat and the refreshing character of Pinot Blanc and Sylvaner.

This has quite an aromatic complexity, with spicy, floral and nutty notes. Charming and medium-bodied with a very satisfying balance of juiciness and citrusy freshness that lights up the long finish. A cuvee of 30% gewurztraminer, 23.5% pinot gris, 18.7% riesling, 18% sylvaner, 6% pinot blanc and 3.8% muscat. Drink now.

The 2023 Gentil Hugel is a blend of 3% Muscat, 18% Sylvaner, 6% Pinot Blanc, 30% Gewurztraminer, 19% Riesling and 24% Pinot Gris. Despite the quite different assemblage, its customary exquisite and gentle floral perfume is preserved alongside a superb creaminess. This is scented, subtle and bright, with exquisite lightness and freshness. (Bone-dry)
