Hugel 2005 Sélection de Grains Nobles Gewürztraminer (Alsace)

Price $210

Full-bodied, lush and sweet, yet despite the presence of ample botrytis, the wine retains a sense of varietal character in its lychee-scented aromas. Dried apricot and pineapple flavors linger for a long time on the mouthwatering finish. Delicious now, and should age well for at least 10 years. The 2001 and 2002 vintages are also currently available, and not far… — J.C. (12/15/2007)

Hugel 2002 Sélection de Grains Nobles Gewürztraminer (Alsace)

Price $203

Hugel, a firm known for its dry-styled table wines, can make killer sweet wines as well, deftly illustrated by this example. It’s full-bodied, broad in the mouth and rich, with considerable weight to its flavors of roses, dried apricots, marmalade and honey, yet stays fresh on the long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now–2020. — J.C. (12/15/2007)

Hugel 1995 Vendage Tardive Riesling (Alsace)

Cellar Selection

Price $65

There's very little of this delicious VT sourced from the Schoenenbouorg grand cru, but it's worth the hunt. The botrytis nose is fat, as is the palate, wtih opulent honey, apricot, diesel and Golden Delicious apple aromas and flavors. Though full, the wine is well structured; though rich, it's more complex than overtly sweet. The lime-accented nut-and-honey finish… — W.E. (11/1/2001)

Hugel 2001 Vendange Tardive Pinot Gris (Alsace)

Price $92

This 2001 Vendange Tardive has richness and sweetness, with some dry botrytis character. It also shows sophistication and delicacy, with lovely acidity as well as yellow fruits. There is a delicious fresh aftertaste. Imported by Frederick Wildman & Sons, Ltd. — R.V. (2/1/2006)

Hugel 2002 Jubilee Hugel Riesling (Alsace)

Price $42

Produced only in top vintages, Jubilee Hugel comes from grand cru vineyards in Riquewihr. It is a wonderful, dry wine, flavored with almonds and grapefruit. It has good acidity, a fine structure and elegance. Pure, superb and long-lasting. Imported by Frederick Wildman and Sons, Ltd. — R.V. (11/1/2005)

Hugel 2001 Sélection de Grains Nobles Gewürztraminer (Alsace)

Price $197

Just a touch less lively than the 2002 and 2005 versions, Hugel’s 2001 Gewürztraminer SGN is still excellent, boasting plenty of weight and richness allied to distinctive varietal aromas of rose petals and cracked white pepper alongside the dried apricot notes of botrytis. — J.C. (12/15/2007)

Hugel 1997 Jubilee Gewürztraminer (Alsace)

Editors' Choice

Price $34

The fat, perfumed bouquet of tangerines, lychee nuts and roses sets you up for lots of flavor—which the wine delivers in grand style. A dense mix of tropical fruit, pear, coconut and honey flavors swamp the palate atop a fat, glyceriney mouthfeel. Wraps up beautifully with a long, spicy, aromatic finish. Editors’ Choice. — W.E. (11/1/2001)

Hugel 1998 Hommage à Jean Hugel Riesling (Alsace)

Online Exclusive

Price $50

A wine that has been created to celebrate the continuing life of Jean Hugel, one of the great ambassadors for Alsace, this has fine petrol aromas, with a dry palate and great flavors of currants, toast, and some spice. It has structure, dryness and fine perfumed flavors. — R.V. (5/1/2005)
