  January 15, 2020 - All Alsatian white grapes in a glass. Tropical fruits and apricot aromas and flavors. Hint of lemon zest. Loads of minerality and crisp acidity. Good stuff.

  October 9, 2019 - Stone fruit, nectarine, citrusy...big fruity orchard nose. Quick acidic zing that lingers with lemon pith, melon. Not complex but a nice clean versatile white.

  July 18, 2019 - For a region that’s so focused on single-varietal wines, and so keen to highlight their numerous Grand Crus, Hugel’s “Gentil” is an anomaly. A blend of the noble varieties — usually Riesling-dominant with Gewurztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Muscat and Sylvaner — the estate ventured away from the norm. It’s meant to be fresh and consumed young — easy, simple, and pleasurable. But don’t think the house is dialing it in; Charlotte Hugel, the 13th generation, explains, “Grand Crus are easy, it’s the entry-level wines that are difficult to find consistency.” Ins_de Wine 7/2019

  April 16, 2019 - Very pale straw. Stone fruit, nectarine, citrusy...big fruity orchard nose. Quick acidic zing that lingers with lemon pith, unripe melon, green apple peel. Not complex or intellectual but a nice clean versatile white.

  March 5, 2019 - Light, pale color. Dry. Apple, pear. Lemon. This blend seems similar to a Riesling, though it is half Sylvaner, probably explaining why it seems “generic”.
