Product Notes

The Famille Hugel Grossi Laüe Pinot Noir is an exquisite wine hailing from Alsace, France. This lush red exudes a beautiful maroon hue and imparts a complex mélange of dark cherry, raspberry, and hints of earthy undertones. Its poised tannins contribute to a well-structured body, balanced delicately with an invigorating acidity. It boasts of a layered, well-rounded palate that finishes in a sophisticated, long-lasting bespoke aftertaste. Aged in oak barrels, this vintage is noted for its ageing potential. Famille Hugel's dedication towards winemaking is reflected in this bottle – truly a tippler's delight, especially for Pinot Noir enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes

The wine's colour is an agreeably pleasing and fresh clear red that brings to mind fully ripe Morello cherries and is filled with brilliance and vivacity. The legs are fine and elegant. The fruity aromatic expression is clear, precise, subtle and refined, dominated by small red fruit typical of the Pinot Noir grape variety. Once preserved, after a controlled wine-making process, the term "Pinote" can be applied to this wine to describe its character; a typical wine-making term from the Burgundy region. Raspberry, red-current, strawberry, Morello cherry, black-cherry, cranberry, hawthorn, rosehip jam with the compliment of a hint of woody vanilla, white pepper and "Girolle" mushrooms. On the palate the overall sensation is both melodious and smooth with a refined and elegant attack that remains long and structured in the mouth. With just the right amount of tannin to give it a full length and depth. There is a wonderful fruity and floral aroma in the after-taste.
