2012 | Famille Hugel | Grossi Laue Riesling

The 2012 is a great classic Riesling with a fruity and floral profile of stone fruit with honeyed, fresh almond character. Refreshing minerality and a long complex finish.

Reviews:

• James Suckling: Fragrant nose with delicate peach and quince aromas that are remarkably fresh for the wine’s age. Broader and bolder on the palate than the nose suggested, this is a concentrated and elegant dry riesling.

• Wine Spectator: A sleek, mouthwatering white, leading with petrol and spice notes that transition to aromas and flavors of ripe apricot and yellow plum, jasmine, pickled ginger and a touch of honeycomb. It's finely meshed and lithe, with the minerally underpinning returning to drive the lasting finish.
