Tasting Note

The wine's colour is young and deeply intense with hints of pale green, lime-tree foliage, straw yellow, lemon and a lightly silver sparkle. The legs are present, tight and voluptuous. The harmonious, smooth and refined bouquet is direct, clear, spontaneous, aromatic and full of the flavours typical of the Gewurztraminer grape with its hints of rose, lily, freesia, hawthorn, jasmine, reseda, lychee, pineapple, peony, honey, lily of the valley. The bouquet is full and generous, both elegant and delicately spiced. On the palate it fills the mouth with generous, full, juicy, and charming sensations and flavours which jostle in the mouth and invade the taste-buds with their energy and tenderness. Silky, soft, caressing, creamy whilst retaining the superbly astringent background presence so typical of a sophisticated Gewurztraminer. The perfumed and spicy after-taste is long-lasting, leaving persistent hints of cardamom and Szechuan pepper.

Product Notes

Famille Hugel Grossi Laüe Gewurztraminer is a remarkable wine that hails from the Alsace region in France. This dry wine is made using hand-harvested Gewurztraminer grapes from vineyards owned by the Hugel family. This wine is named after the Grossi family, who owned vineyards in the area in the early 20th century. Pale yellow in color, it boasts a complex aroma of lychee, rose petals, and spice. On the palate, a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity lifts flavors of ripe mango, pineapple, and ginger. The finish is incredibly long and leaves a pleasant, lingering tanginess. Famille Hugel Grossi Laüe Gewurztraminer is an excellent choice to pair with Asian cuisine like Thai or sushi.

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.
