Winery Famille Hugel

Winery founded by the Hugel family and rooted in Riquewihr; it has remained in the hands of the same family for generations. The estate is known for the role it played in defining the rules for Vendanges Tardives and Sélection de Grains Nobles in Alsace, and it preserves historic cellars and barrels in the medieval center of Riquewihr.

Emphasizes the expression of the terroir and noble Alsatian grape varieties, with hand-harvested fruit and a range that spans from the more approachable "Classic" wines to high-end cuvées based on individual lieux-dits. The standard bottlings are generally dry; the special cuvées reflect the commitment to the quality and authenticity of the grape variety and the site.

Vineyards concentrated around the village of Riquewihr, with plots situated on prestigious terroirs, including parcels in the main lieux-dits/Grand Cru such as Schoenenbourg, Sporen and Pflostig; grapes are also acquired under contract from selected vineyards in the region.

Member of Primum Familiae Vini; historically recognized for its regulatory contribution to Vendanges Tardives and Sélection de Grains Nobles; cited among the great Alsatian maisons.
