Product Notes

Famille Hugel Classic Pinot Noir is a delightful red wine that showcases the spirit and character of Alsace, France. This wine comes from the Hugel family, who use traditional techniques to create a wine that is both elegant and refined. The nose has a lovely bouquet of red cherries, raspberries, and earthy notes. The palate is rich and expressive, with flavors of dark berries and spices. Its medium body and low tannins make it an excellent pairing for a wide range of dishes, such as roasted chicken or grilled seafood. This wine is perfect for any special occasion or a delightful evening with friends.

Tasting Notes

This wine has a pleasant red current and cherry colour with the slightest hints of bronzed ruby which develop over time accompanied by a wonderful shimmer and transparency. It has an open, smooth, tender and elegantly fruity nose with hints of black cherry, raspberry, crushed wild strawberry, alcoholic fruit jam, tobacco and woodland floor. On the palate this is a classic, elegant, refined and smooth Pinot Noir wine, the flavour is structured by the tannin which is not too hard, making it easy to approach and thirst-quenching

About the Winery

The Hugel family has been making wines in Alsace ever since 1639. While Hans Urich Hugel’s family settled down in Alsace during the 15th century, he took control of Winegrowers' Corporation in the region during 1639. Within a few years, his son constructed the family house in the Rue des Cordiers. The family crest, which was carved on this house's doorway, is used as Famille Hugel’s logo even today.

By 1902, Emile Hugel re-established the family’s business in the Riquewihr region, and it continues to be the iconic wine-producing region in Alsace. After the 15th century, Alsace lost its enviable place in the global wine market due to many wars and the deadly pests and viruses that attacked the vines.

By 1918, the Hugel family members took it upon themselves to re-kindle the Alsace region's wine-producing potential. The winemaking team's hard work ensured that within a few years, Alsace bounced back to become the abode of some of the richest and classiest wines in the world. Today, the white wines produced here are considered to be one of the best worldwide.

The Hugel vineyard located in Riquewihr, comprises an area of 25 hectares. For many centuries, wine lovers have respected this region for producing some of the noblest wines in the region. Almost half of this vineyard is cultivated as Grand Cru zones, with the utmost respect to nature and Mother Earth. The grapes produced here are of the highest quality because of the ethics followed in the viticultural practices followed here. Hand-picking of the fruits, planting young vines, lack of fertilisers, etc., are some of the ethics followed here.

In addition to its own estate, the Hugel family has also acquired over 100 hectares of vineyards that grow only grapes from the region's local growers. These vineyards are located in some of the premium wine-producing regions of Alsace.
