The signature Alsace style from a benchmark Alsace producer!
Hugel Classic Pinot Gris
- 92/100 (James Suckling) - "A charming dry pinot gris that has a striking hint of copper color. Ripe, generous and juicy with just a touch of tannin that helps anchor the richness. Almost silky finish with hints of toasted almonds and smoke"
- Famille Hugel are one of Alsace's most iconic producers - banging out world class aromatics since 1639!
- This is their signature style Pinot Gris - a rich and weighty style with a dry finish
- "As expected, 2020 is a vintage marked by the sun, and lovers of 2009, 2011 or 2015 will find in it a worthy successor to these vintages touched by the power of Helios."

There is nowhere else on the planet that produces amazing aromatic white styles quite like Alsace in France. We’re talking Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Blanc.
Famille Hugel have been making wine in this world famous corner of the wine world since 1639 and with 12 consecutive family generations at the helm they’ve knocked out a few vintages in their time.
This is their Classic Pinot Gris and it sure as hell is a classic. This is Hugel’s signature Pinot Gris and it’s right on point with style of Gris that Alsace is so well known for. Using fruit from 30 years old vines this is a rich, weighty style of Gris that finishes dry.
The crew at Hugel were clearly pretty damn happy with how this latest 2022 release ended up. “Pinot Gris truly dry and gastronomic which reveals itself at the table! Rich and rounded, although still dry, it is ideal with terrines, white meats and fish in sauce. Of all the Alsace varieties, Pinot Gris has the greatest ageing potential.”
