Hugel Classic Pinot Gris 2007, Alsace, France

Wine Advocate #188, April 2010:
Hugel’s 2007 Pinot Gris Tradition – as with Muscat, there is no “regular” bottling of this grape below the “Tradition” level – smells of smoked meat and sauteed mushrooms, ripe peach and pungent herbs. It displays a striking combination of creaminess and clarity, in part no doubt attributable to a frequent Hugel procedure of letting some lots undergo malo-lactic transformation and others not. Toasted hazelnut, diverse herbs, mushrooms, and subtle suggestions of bitter-sweet liquid floral perfume inform a juicy subtly saline finish. This is going to make a terrific table wine over the next 8-10 years.
