Hugel
In the storybook streets of Riquewihr, with the Vosges shielding the vineyards, Hugel in Alsace has been shaping wine since 1639—family continuity turned into a craft language.
The house helped define what “place” means here: in the 1970s, Jean Hugel played a key role in mapping and establishing the Alsace Grand Cru boundaries. Today, fruit from prime sites such as Schoenenbourg and Sporen can stand alongside the Clos du Pflostig, always anchored in the region’s noble varieties.
Large traditional foudres, patient lees time and a disciplined handling of residual sugar create balance rather than sweetness as a shortcut. Dry expressions keep aromatic lift on a taut frame, while Vendanges Tardives and Sélection de Grains Nobles push ripeness without losing the cool, stony tension that makes Alsace unmistakable.Hugel
