Hugel Pinot Blanc Cuvée Les Amours

Pinot Blanc is now the most planted varietal in Alsace and the most approachable and also, the most consistent year in and year out. The wine is delicate, subtle and well-built, not far in style for an unoaked Chardonnay, like a Mâcon or Chablis. Hugel’s Classic Pinot Blanc makes an excellent aperitif because, although nicely rounded, it is also refreshing. The perfect all-purpose dry white wine, pairing well with seafood, white meats, fresh vegetable dishes, and even contrast with richer cuisine. About the Brand: For over 370 years and with 13-family generations the Hugel family has unrivaled experience and knowledge of Alsace vineyards and winemaking. Known today for their passion and modern outlook, the dynamic Hugel family, located in the picture-postcard fortified village of Riquewihr, has earned a worldwide reputation for their Alsace wines. From Hugel’s Grossi Laüe to Vendange Tardive, their wines are released only when the family agrees they are ready; the focus is ultimate quality. A first-time taste of these wines is a revelation. Critical Acclaim: 2017: 90 points Wine Enthusiast “A yeasty touch still clings to the lemon and green pear notes on the nose. The palate makes most of this textural element and disperses it with bright lemon throughout the fresh and dry palate. It's versatile, light but concentrated wine.” Wine Enthusiast
