Profile & Story

Riesling is what Famille Hugel calls "the Pinot Noir of white wines." The Classic bottling is 100% Riesling from hand-harvested grapes on predominantly clay and limestone vineyards around Riquewihr, vines averaging 32 years old, yield 67 hL/ha. Pressed without pumping/mechanical handling, fermented in temperature-controlled vats 18-24°C, racked once, bottled under DIAM closure. 12% alcohol, 1.3 g/L residual sugar, 6 g/L tartaric acidity, pH 3.17.

Tasting Notes

Bright green highlights, floral nose of lily of the valley, elderflower, and lively citrus zest. Perfectly dry palate with energetic lemon, lime, and yuzu zest, acidic delicate finish.

Pairing Recommendation

The ideal partner to fish and seafood, thanks to its wonderful balance and elegance.
