Mouth-watering acidity and consequent freshness. For its price range, this is unbelievable value. Delicious.

Hugel respecte le livre traditionnel du riesling bien né. Citron confit, très sec, ( très peu de sucre résiduel, selon une tradition Alsacienne qui peut en rebuter plusieurs...) finale minérale et quelque peu « pétroleuse » avec le temps d'aération, ce riesling est un modèle du genre. Notes d'orange au réchauffement. (**1/2) pour son RQP

Impressively complex for its price but the gasoline/beach ball just overpowered everything else for me. There is some apricot and sweet spice there too but slightly out of balance overall

Quite ordinary and nothing really expressive like we’re used to from Hugel.

I will let this one age for at least one more year. Maybe the expected honey will arrive as well as the intensity of the aroma ?? Nice pale lemon not too bright mostly clear color ?? Medium body. High acidity. Not very mineral. Nor crispy. Mildly aromatic, petroleum, citrus and green fruits. Same mixture on the palate with lemon, lime and acidity dominating and then apple, melon, apricot and then (vaguely) stone and... maybe a glimpse of honey. Not …

Limes, limes, limes on the nose with a little white peach BOne dry, limes, lot of citrus, firm acidity with a lime pithy quality, long with honey on the finish. Good stuff. Zingy and dry, drinking well now but will no doubt mature nicely.

Crisp, refreshing and well balanced wine. Food friendly, Well pairing to Mediterranean salad with spicy sardines. Serve 10ºC - 14ºC. Open half an hour ahead. Drink now and next 3/4 years.

An Expansive Tasting at Hugel (Riquewihr, France) : Light yellow. Fresh floral and citrus aromas. Light and mineral with snappy acidity and real soil carrying the finish. Fine basic Riesling with more energy than other more acclaimed 2022’s.

Very intense nose but the notes are not very distinct. There is citrus, a little bit of tropical fruit, white flowers, and even a little bit of petroleum. On the palate, there is a lot of green apple and a little bit of camomile. The body is medium- and acidity is high. It is a very pleasing wine and I think it could improve with some more time. 8/18
