2017 | Famille Hugel | Estate Riesling

Very attractive to the eye with a nice and intense density, straw and lemon yellow with plenty of light green highlights, a wonderful brightness and silvery sparkle over tight and sophisticatedly smooth legs.For the nose it is generous and complex with an attractive purity in its expression, well-stated and full-flavoured with a nice harmony between the fruity aroma and an excellent minerality.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: A hint of spring blossom precedes clean citrus notes on the nose of this refreshing wine. The palate is light but concentrated, fruity but dry and caressed by lemon brightness. The finish is dry and mouthwatering

• Terroir Sense: Vivid straw yellow. Chlorophyll and cilantro on the penetrating nose. Rich and ripe but vibrant, this is very pure, long and perfumed on the lemon verbena and tequila-accented finish.
