Winemaker Notes
The pride and joy of the Hugel family, pioneers of late-harvest wines in Alsace. A wine of extraordinary depth and concentration, which will develop in bottle for decades, it is best enjoyed on its own, for a special occasion.
In the cellars, the oldest of which dates back to 1551, can be seen rows of oak wine casks, over one hundred years old, crafted by the forefathers of the present generation of Hugels now running the company. Near them is the oldest cask in the world still in use: the Sainte Caterine, which has a capacity of 8,800 litres. It was built in 1715, the year in which Louis XIV died.
The company has always maintained its family character and is determined to keep it that way. The vineyards are owned and farmed by individual members of the family whereas the company owns the buildings and machinery.
