Famille Hugel Pinot Blanc Cuvee Les Amours 2023

$1999

The name says it all: an English noblewoman dining with Jean Hugel back in 1970 kept gushing about the wine, and the family christened this cuvée Les Amours ("the lovers") on the spot. More than a half-century later, it's still the easiest white in Alsace to fall for. The Hugel family has been farming here since 1639, and this bottling blends Pinot Blanc with its frequent partner Auxerrois, fermented on native yeasts in stainless steel to keep the focus on orchard fruit and freshness. It drinks clean, lively, and quietly generous, the kind of weeknight white that punches well above its station. Pour it cold and watch it disappear.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2023 Pinot Blanc Cuvée Les Amours is a blend of 65% Pinot Blanc and 35% Auxerrois. The nose offers ripe and aromatic notions of juicy Conference pear. The palate has a similar pear notion and a touch of pepper, even an edge of marzipan, aligned with a touch of orange zestiness. The finish is fresh and mild, and the body is balanced and bright." —Anne Krebiehl MW
