Le Gentil de la Famille Hugel is a white wine from Alsace that embodies a centuries-old tradition of the appellation. It is a harmonious blend of noble grape varieties, offering a perfect introduction to Alsatian wines. The grapes come from vines approximately 30 years old, located on clay-limestone soils around Riquewihr, in the heart of Alsace. Vinification is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, with 6 months of aging in tuns, without passing through oak barrels, in order to preserve the freshness and fruity expression of the wine. Le Gentil de la Famille Hugel is an elegant, fruity, and dry Alsatian white wine, ideal for discovering the richness of local grape varieties. It offers a beautiful introduction to Alsatian wines, combining tradition and modernity.

Domaine Hugel is a legendary Alsace vineyard, synonymous with excellence and tradition. For nearly 400 years, this family estate has produced wines that embody the soul and richness of the Alsatian terroir. Passed down from father to son for twelve generations, the Hugel family passionately cultivates noble grape varieties such as Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris.

The estate covers 30 hectares of vines located on the best slopes of Riquewihr, most of which are classified as Grand Cru, complemented by 110 hectares of vineyard partners. Each bottle reflects ancestral know-how and a modern approach to winemaking, combining precision, elegance, and purity.

Hugel white wines are true works of art: mineral Rieslings, expressive Gewurztraminers, and harmonious Pinot Gris. Their dry, unpretentious style highlights the grape variety’s distinctive character and the finesse of the Alsatian climate. Their vintages are equally suited to aperitifs, fine dining, or cellaring.

A pioneer of Late Harvests and Noble Grain Selections, Hugel helped establish the strictest French AOC regulations for these exceptional wines. The estate’s historic cellars house century-old tuns, including the famous “Sainte Catherine” barrel dating from 1715, still in use today.

Hugel wines are perfect for lovers of fine wines and those wishing to discover the best of Alsace in a bottle. An iconic house that combines tradition, innovation, and impeccable quality, recognized in more than 100 countries worldwide.
