Tasting Note

The wine's colour is an agreeably pleasing and fresh clear red that brings to mind fully ripe Morello cherries and is filled with brilliance and vivacity. The legs are fine and elegant. The fruity aromatic expression is clear, precise, subtle and refined, dominated by small red fruit typical of the Pinot Noir grape variety. Once preserved, after a controlled wine-making process, the term "Pinote" can be applied to this wine to describe its character; a typical wine-making term from the Burgundy region. Raspberry, red-current, strawberry, Morello cherry, black-cherry, cranberry, hawthorn, rosehip jam with the compliment of a hint of woody vanilla, white pepper and "Girolle" mushrooms. On the palate the overall sensation is both melodious and smooth with a refined and elegant attack that remains long and structured in the mouth. With just the right amount of tannin to give it a full length and depth. There is a wonderful fruity and floral aroma in the after-taste.

Product Notes

Famille Hugel Grossi Laüe Pinot Noir is a premium red wine produced by the Hugel family in Alsace, France. This Pinot Noir is made from grapes selected from the finest vineyards and is aged in oak barrels for 18 months before it is bottled. It boasts an intense ruby color and a complex aroma that combines cherry, blackcurrant, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is silky smooth with notes of blackberry, raspberry, spice, and a touch of oak. The finish is long and elegant with soft tannins and a fresh acidity. This wine is perfect for pairing with game, lamb, and red meat dishes.

About the Winery

Famille Hugel

The Hugel family has been making wines in Alsace ever since 1639. While Hans Urich  Hugel’s family settled down in Alsace during the 15th century, he took control of Winegrowers' Corporation in the region during 1639. Within a few years, his son constructed the family house in the Rue des Cordiers. The family crest, which was carved on this house's doorway, is used as Famille Hugel’s logo even today.
