Description

The Pinot Gris Sélection de Grains Nobles “S” by Famille Hugel is a wine jewel from Alsace, a region famous for its millenary winemaking tradition and its aromatic whites of the highest quality. Produced exclusively in exceptional vintages, this wine is made from Pinot Gris grapes handpicked under noble rot conditions, which confer extraordinary concentration and complexity.

With an intense golden color and amber reflections, on the nose it opens with a rich and elegant bouquet, dominated by notes of ripe exotic fruit, acacia honey, dried apricot, and hints of sweet spices. On the palate, it is enveloping and smooth, supported by a perfect balance between sweetness and freshness, with a long and persistent finish that invites another sip.

The aging in the Hugel cellars, meticulously cared for, enhances the purity of the grape variety and the expressiveness of the Alsatian terroir. Perfect to accompany foie gras, blue cheeses, or dried fruit-based desserts, this Sélection de Grains Nobles represents the elegance and refinement of Famille Hugel production in a 375 ml format, ideal for special occasions or as a refined tasting.
