Hugel, Grossi Laue Riesling

Recently released. Fruit is fresh, pure and very persistent. Could do with more acidity though.

2016 vintage

Elegance and grace from Shoenenbourg Grand Cru is regal and delicious.

2010 vintage

Christmas Day 2025: bright yellow color; intense bouquet of apples, citron, and honey; like soft apple juice in the mouth; with a mellow fruity acidity on the palate. 90-91/100

2016 vintage

Initial rating 87: I was impressed by the power of this riesling a few years ago so kept an extra bottle for ageing in my cellar. Now, the "power" is still there but there's nothing left around the bone. No fruit, no depth, no complexity, just a thin, acidic frame. Likely past its prime (unless it's just a bad bottle). Edit: after a few days under gas, it felt like the wine was beginning to open up, so maybe it's …

2011 vintage

Creamy with peach in cream, but also smoky with structure, very good, close to none petrol which I like in mature Riesling - very good tonight. The RS is perfectly integrated and an important part of the wine, very hedonistic.

2011 vintage

Intense with flavours of lime minerals and chalk. Fine, steely and bone dry, yet developing notes of honey. Very fine with an extraordinary length of finish. CHP 94 pts

2016 vintage

From the grand cru Schoenenbourg and in this vintage drinking beautifully. Hugel at their best.

2011 vintage

Full yellow. Dried stone fruit aromas. Full bodied. Still young, fresh, and powerful with deep dry flavors and terrific acidity. I'm sorry this was my last one.

2010 vintage

Mineral notes, some exotic fruit and still high acidity. Probably drinking well still many years from now. Had with Toast Skagen, excellent match.

2011 vintage

Mineral and smokey

2011 vintage

Delicious. Schoenenbourg Grand Cru elegance shines through.

2010 vintage

Made with grapes sourced from Grand Cru Schoenenbourg. Average vine age 30 yo. Harvested between late September and late October. 13,5% alcohol, 6,5 g/l residual sugar, 7,9 g/l acidity and pH 3,09. Tasted blind. Pale lemon yellow color. The nose feels expressive, complex and very slightly developed with layered aromas of macerated lemon rind, some ripe appley notes, a little bit of steely minerality, light sweet white fruit notes, a hint of peachy stone fruit, a touch of beeswax and …

2010 vintage

PnP. Color is light straw. On the nose: Lemon, orange zest, tropical fruits and petrol. On the palate: Honeysuckle, dirty honey, white florals, orange zest, apricot, beeswax and lots of salinity. This is a grown up wine and very nice.

2011 vintage

Medium yellow. Classic aromas of Earl Grey tea. Medium to full bodied. Dry, lemony, and powerful but the acidity has calmed significantly since I last tasted this. Terrific Riesling still with a lot of time ahead of it.

2010 vintage

Dîner de Noël des anciens C&S (Restaurant Bagatelle) : Un vin assez rond en attaque, qui joue sur l'élégance et l'équilibre. C’est complexe et frais, avec une superbe finale, longue, un brin sucrée, saline et précise. Magnifique vin que je plaçais à Chablis, sinon ensuite en chenin de la Loire! Nous avons tous été déroutés. Grand blanc. 94-95 pts

2010 vintage

First time on Hugel and this impresses. Some have commented on it being a bit broad and flabby but I see a tension in this that’s alluring. There’s enough acid here to give it good length. And no doubt plenty of years development ahead of it too. Very enjoyable now but I’ll hold out on the next bottle another 4-5 years.

2011 vintage

Medium yellow. Complex aromas of tropical fruit and early petrol. Medium to full bodied, glorious glycerine texture, focused guava fruit, stone, and crackling acidity. What a great dry Riesling this is and will be over the next decade! Just as driving and tart the next day with addition of faint spice. Really terrific and up there with the other dry Alsatian heavy hitters.

2010 vintage

May still need time but heavy sugars. And less fill fruit that expected.

2011 vintage

Superb riesling. Last tasting was 4 yrs ago, no sign of slowing down. Vibrant and rich, good layer of fruit with good acid and petrol on the finish. Very good now but can hold for a while longer.

2010 vintage

Drinking well but with a future ahead of it. Tense, balanced, with bruised lemon, bright minerals and a long finish.

2011 vintage

开头在菠萝、柠檬和柚子等明亮的果味中带有丝滑的奶油味，些许白花香点缀，整体气息饱满圆润，略微油感，醒酒之后转变出些许奶酪味和木屑粉的味道。入口整体具有扩张感，酸度圆润，融化酒中，包含着细细的咸矿物，很舒服。集中度中等，整体比较有扩张感，中段略空，柑橘，淡淡的咸柠檬，些许柚子，以及陈年带来的果脯，收尾略带草本、石灰粉以及辛辣。92

2010 vintage

14.4° vol, residual sugar (g/l) 3.7, acidity (g/l) 6.2. Double decanted an hour before dinner. Less developed than expected, nice Riesling nose with pear and white stone fruits, on the palate first a bit flabby, gets fresher with additional air, nice bitter note, rich and long. Very good and has still many years ahead, 91-92, though quite pricy.

2011 vintage

Four years after my tasting note on the 2010, which I liked but thought rather forward. This is a point at 10 years plus, and equally enjoyable. Grossi Laue was once Reserve Personnelle then Jubilee, Hugel's premium Riesling from Schoenenbourg. Balance, long and generous.

2011 vintage

Wow! Truly great wine. Medium to medium deep yellow, a slightly shy but thrilling nose, subtle but complex, wafting stones, citrus and spice. Very serious concentration on the palate, from start to finish, really coats and saturates the tongue, and finishes long, clean and crisp. This is one of those sip-it-slow-cuz-you-don't-want-it-to-be-gone wines. At the same time chiseled and voluptuous. Winey, delicate, powerful, complex. Nose is expanding as it warms, happy just to smell. Greengage, lime rime, hints of white peach. …

2010 vintage

London quarantine 2020!

2010 vintage

A bit oxidative on the nose. Quite layered. The high alcohol is noticeable, and despite the good acidity this comes across as pretty broad and even a bit flabby. Long, slightly bitter finish. 89-91

2011 vintage

In a nice place. Lemon, orange peel, lychee, peach, dry money. Medium + body, medium acidity. Very long finish. Well balanced and complex. Paired with a whole grilled fish which worked great.

2011 vintage

Fra hukommelsen et par dage efter, at vinen blev drukket: Lidt grønligt skær. Flot, ren mineralsk næse, lidt stenfrugt og en lille smule malingspand. Anderledes tung i munden. Pæn syre men høj alkohol (14 pct), fylde og lidt hvid peber. En magtfuld vin men lidt ude af balance til min smag

2011 vintage

Very light hay yellow; citrus nose, flinty; rich lean pointed acidic attack, long citrus aftertaste; very nice

2011 vintage

Very average reisling, definitely not worth the price.

2011 vintage

Drinking very well now, everything in place.

2011 vintage

Tried the wine at the tasting room in Riquewihr, France. Nose of lemons, honeysuckle, and a slight hint of petrol. Tastes of citrus peel, honey, and stone fruits. The wine has a medium/long finish and was much more balanced than the Estate Riesling.

2011 vintage

A single vineyard from Scchoenenbourg. And 12 plots there. Everything vinified seperately. and then they only choose which speak very well to them and speak of terroir. Bottles 2012 and then in the cellar. That is fabulous texture too.

2011 vintage

Alsace Rocks! (Chicago, IL) : The nose is fresh, hi-toned and perfumed with lifted tones of red apples, flint, pears, quince, kumqaut, saline, crushed rocks, and a lot of white flowers. There is a lovely, seamless style that balances well right now. The Medium/full bodied feel is balanced and deft with mouthwatering, high acidity that leaves us with a fresh finish. This is really pretty and shows a demure and lithe side that has a bit of nuance.

2011 vintage

Alsace Rocks! (Chicago, IL) : The nose is flowing and perfumed with nuanced and fresh tones of gun flint, roasted nuts, pears, Meyer lemons, red apples, nectarines, peaches, saline, crushed rocks, and a heavy dose of white flowers. There is excellent depth and freshness that brings about some lovely tension and poise. The Full bodied feel is vibrant and poised with excellent depth as well. The high acidity has some excellent cut and freshness while showing off lovely length. This …

2010 vintage

Opened by LostVerse. Notes of petrol, peanuts and pears. Some heat on the finish. Lower acidity. 88 points

2011 vintage

WIML92 Tasted non blind. Light yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of diesel, apricot and wet stones. Flavors of peach, cherry and lemon. Medium acidity, medium body. Drink or hold.

2010 vintage

Courtesy of tlv. Notes of diesel, apple and peach. The palate follows the bouquet. Somewhat simple, but nice. 87-88 pts.

2011 vintage

Christmas Lunch and Dinner Wines : Bone dry apple, peach and almond. so much acidity that it almost hurts, and I think needs time to soften. 89 points today, but I think 90+ point potential.

2011 vintage

Had bottle at Restaurant Alain Ducasse. I paid, shall we say, a little more than retail for the bottle. Beautiful wine, though. Food was delicate and wine went great with it. Aromatic nose and good acid. Post hoc tasting note here so cannot remember all the details but was quite good.

2011 vintage

Ljust, ljust gul i färgen. Vid 8-9 grader ger näsan vårblomster, alpäng, otroligt timida citrustoner, lite ostkant från vällagrad komjölksost från det norditaienska ost-meckat - faktiskt lite i kombination med laktotoner. Smaken säger samma timida, men något förstärkta citrustoner. Torr, angenäm och smakrik. Några år på nacken men innehållet talar för att den kommer att kunna gå ihop ytterligare och därmed växa något till. 90 poäng. Med ett plus.

2011 vintage

WineBox 10y - Master class – ‘Alsace: Fruit & Terroir – Side by Side’- Jean-Frederic Hugel : Produced from the finest plots of the Schoenenbourg grand cru, it comes with open nose of stoney minerality with a support of subtle apple aromas. In the mouth full bodied, a touch oily with cleansing palate and balance of a great class. 13.5 % alc, 6,5 g/l RS, Acidity 7,93 g/l Stellar wine accessible now but surely a long distance runner.

2010 vintage

Très joli Riesling avec une puissance retenue, des arômes encore très jeunes sur les agrumes. Légers sucres résiduels. À attendre encore.

2010 vintage

Light yellow. Lean, taut, herbal, strong acidity. Very young.

2010 vintage

Opened the night before. Yellow. Dense, dry, full of black tea and stone fruit. Very young, even having gotten some air.

2010 vintage

Light yellow-green color. Light kiwi on the nose with mild citrus. Intense notes of lime peel with similarly intense minerality which endure through a very long finish.

2010 vintage

Degustatie te Hugel met Marc André Hugel . De 2010 met de 2011 vergeleken en van de 2011 kon Bina de laatste 6 beschikbare halfjes kopen. Volgens Marc André eerst de nu reeds goede geopende 2011 nuttigen en dan de lange afstandsloper 2010 waar ik voor ging en eigenlijk niet meer beschikbaar was in halfjes. Jean Marc zocht en vond.. 2010 is samen met 2007 zijn favoriet in de meer recente geschiedenis. Beetje groene thee in de neus met wat …

2010 vintage

Medium yellow. Tea and crystallized orange peel. Full bodied, off dry pineapple at front end followed by a rush of lemony acidity and great stoniness. Very long finish. This will last forever and probably should be entombed in the cellar for a decade. I surely don't remember the old bottling (Jubilée) being so fiercely, gratifyingly mineral. Wow.

2010 vintage

93+. Delicious Riesling. Rich, full bodied, lots of citrus fruits. Slight petrol in background. Focused acidity. Drinks well at the moment but will hold last bottle for longer. Big fan.

2010 vintage

No 4, clear pale lemon with a greenish tint. Zesty on the nose and lesser petrol. Off dry, medium+ acidity, medium+ round body. A medium+ Yeasty and nutty sour finish. Less intense than Clare valley Rieslings.

2010 vintage

Are you sure?
