  (Hugel et Fils Riesling Jubilee) Hugel means “hill” in the Alsatian dialect, and the Jubilee bottling comes from one of the best hills around—the grand cru Schoenenbourg vineyard. This wine is lean, intense, and amazingly youthful, with peach and lemon-curd flavors against a backdrop of firm, stony minerality: a traditional take on Alsatian Riesling for those who prefer austerity and elegance over flash and volume. A bit one-dimensional now, it has everything it needs for future development. Give it a few years, then try it with smoked trout. Winery Spotlight: Domaine Marcel Deiss
