Product Notes

Famille Hugel Grossi Laüe Pinot Noir is an exquisite exemplar of Alsace wines. This French red wine is deemed remarkable for its eloquent composition featuring ripe, fruity, and spicy character. It seduces with notes of cherry, smoky spices and truffle on the nose, underpinned with fine tanins. The elegance in each sip is brought to life by the luscious and balanced finish, creating a multi-layered tasting experience. This full-bodied wine, known for its great ageing potential, delivers an elegant Pinot Noir, very expressive of its Alsace registry. A perfect companion for game and robust dishes, it will delight any wine enthusiast.

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.
