Famille Hugel Riesling Grossi Laue 2013

An intense and pleasant concentration of pale yellow and shining gold hues completed with pale green, pistachio and spring lime tree foliage green highlights.

A dynamic sheen and multiple tight smooth legs. A precise and well-stated but not aggressive aroma that is at once concentrated, smooth, and generous in its expression with notable alcohol content, it is fruity and floral, sophisticated and finely scented whilst remaining complex thanks to the maturity of the grape and its wonderfully distinguished and refined mineral hint.

Baked apple, peach, Mirabelle, ginger, there is a smooth and harmonious aroma of springtime, ferns, almond blossom, pistachio, lemon balm and lemongrass
On the palate it has all of the charm of a good dry Riesling with its full, broad and juicy structure and high alcoholic content. It has a remarkable texture in the mouth thanks to the wonderful acidity of this Riesling grape variety from the noblest Alsace vineyards.

The full and harmonious flavour persists long in the mouth. This is a tempting wine which is fine for immediate consumption but would merit a little patience before making the most of the typical qualities of its magnificent soil-type which will express its mineral edge 2 to 7 years from now adding further hints of white Piedmont truffle and rockiness.

This is a highly gastronomic wine which can be served with roast turbot, sole meunière, lobster, king prawns, sander, perch, poultry or white meat dishes. Roast poultry, macaroni with fresh white truffle.
