Winemaker Notes

Made from the famous grape variety of Burgundy, this agreeable red wine presents a distinctive Alsace character. Supple, with intense fruit, it can be drunk with charcuterie, red meat and cheese.

2023 was primarily a year marked by drought. While the health status and quality of the vintage are exceptional as a result, yields, especially for Riesling, were strongly impacted. The most significant dry spell lasted from April 18th to July 23rd, with almost no rain, following a cold and late start to spring. However, despite the lack of heatwaves, 2023 is a dry and healthy year, but not particularly warm in Alsace! The harvest on September 18th passed without a drop of rain. 2023 is an easy vintage and will be among the greats at Hugel.
