A kaleidoscope of Alsace in a glass! The perfect introduction to the wines of the Hugel Family, appreciated all over the world and the only wine from our production that is not from a single grape variety. GENTIL “HUGEL” reconnects with a centuries-old Alsatian tradition where blends of noble grape varieties were called “Gentil”. A superb wine of pleasure!

Tasting by Serge Dubs, Best Sommelier of the World 1989:
Pure and youthful color, lively with a beautiful silvery and crystalline shine, very young, fresh, alert, light green, pistachio, lime leaf with some pale yellow nuances, with supple legs.

Young, racy bouquet, a beautiful purity of youthful expression, spontaneous aromatic, very fruity, floral subtly nutmeg, elderflower, white peach, lemon balm, grapefruit, lime, hawthorn primrose jasmine, lime blossom, cherry blossoms, pear . Deliciously aromatic and spirited bouquet.

On the palate it is a dry wine with great finesse and elegance, alert, joyful, with a drinkable tactile freshness, which bursts into the mouth and releases a desire to quench your thirst, pleasantly aromatic, clean, frank, just.

Thirsty wine to drink now and within two years to take advantage of its aromatic and thirst-quenching charm.

Ideal aperitif wine, serve it at 8° with oysters, shellfish, seafood, raw fish, sushi, marinated, langoustine carpaccio, scallops, grilled fish, nage or slightly creamy sauce.
Ideal with slightly spicy oriental, Indian, Moroccan, Mexican cuisine.
