Famille Hugel

Our server was so engaging, informative, and helpful. We tasted a wide variety of wines, some of them quite rare and expensive. Totally enjoyable and delightful!

Good experience, the tasting was conducted by a really knowledgable young lady and the wines were really good. What more could you ask for?

This was our third tasting on our second day in Alsace. We were given a warm welcome and seated in the very nice tasting room. We were served by a delightful young lady and went through a tasting of 8 wines: 1. Gentil 2022 - emblematic of the Hugel estate and a really good blend of all the Alsace white varieties - 'Alsace in a glass'! - excellent wine and great value 2. Pinot Noir 2014 - 'Grosse Laue' (Grand Cru in Alsace dialect) - clearly a fine wine, but a little tart for our palates 3. Riesling Classic 2023 - citrus/brioche/floral in character - a reasonable entry level Riesling 4. Riesling 2014 Grosse Laue - pure petrol! Power & Spice - peppery - a really good drink 5. Pinot Gris 'Estate' 2021 - a pure expression of the terroir - really excellent - perfect risotto wine! 6. Pinot Gris VT 2009 - delicious but perhaps a bit one dimensional 7. Gewurtztraminer VT 2015 - again delicious but a bit straightforward 8. Pinot Gris 2000 SGN. Pure caramel. 199g sugar!! Fantastic wine, but.....130 Euros per bottle.All in all an excellent tasting - we didn't buy any bottles as we have already filled our allowance, but the standout wine for me was the Pinot Gris Estate 2021.

We enjoyed the wine tasting very much. Mr Hugel gave us a better understanding of Alsace wines and his family’s traditional way of producing wine. The wines had great body and finished very well.

Excellents vins! Nous avons eu un très bel accueil et nous en avons appris beaucoup sur le domaine et leurs vins. J’y retournerais n’importe quand!

We enjoyed the tasting immensely. Highly recomend.

I would very strongly recommend this wine tasting.

We attended our tasting on 27th Aug’24 Our tasting was the best we experienced during our stay in Colmar. The all the wines we tasted were explained very well so we had a good understanding of what we were experiencing on our palate. We would recommend highly

Nous avons eu d excellent conseils sur les différents vins d’Alsace et leurs histoires. Hôte très gentil je recommande vivement ?

I enjoyed an excellent tasting at Familie Hugel in the centre of Riquewihr. It’s an oasis away from the hoards of tourists - an hour centred on what makes Alsace tick - its excellent wines. We started with dry Muscat made for enjoying with asparagus and vegetables before moving onto the fresh and fruity Pinot noir. Then to comparing new vintage Riesling and Gerwurtztraminer with older vintages. The best (for me) was the final Vendage Tardive Gerwurtz . Our host was engaging and very informative. He was keen to hear our views and to discuss the complexities of the terroir. Would very much recommend and we will be buying several cases on our return to England.
