It has a deep, intense yellow-gold color with excellent viscosity, a rich, unctuous appearance with an attractive, bright satin finish.

The bouquet is rich, deep, and complex, revealing over-ripe Gewurztraminer grapes affected by botrytis under ideal conditions, while retaining the aromatic personality of this varietal: honeyed aromas of currants, papaya, mango, kumquat, apricot, and baked apple, finishing with a touch of gentle spice.
This is a liqueur wine, with a soft sweetness that coats the palate, full, rich, and very flavorful.
Drink it now, or keep it for 10 to 20 years, at 6°C.
Enjoy it just for the pleasure of savoring a remarkable dessert wine, or with foie gras, blue cheese, fruit tart desserts or with pan-fried foie gras and russet apple.
These wines made from single berry selection of overripe and shrivelled grapes picked one by one and produced in the greatest years only. The action of noble rot (botrytis cinerea) gives them an almost unlimited ability to age. They are part of the elite of the greatest wines in France.
In the vineyard:

Produced from over-ripened grapes, picked one by one in a selection of the oldest plots of the Hugel estate in the heart of the grand cru Sporen made up of Lias clay-marl, decalcified on the surface, exceptionally rich in phosphoric acid.

Winemaking: The grapes are taken in small tubs to the presses, which are filled by gravity, without any pumping or other mechanical intervention.

After pressing, the must is decanted for a few hours, then fermented in temperature-controlled barrels or vats (at 18 to 24°C). The wine is racked just once, before natural clarification during the course of the winter. The following spring, the wine is lightly filtered just before bottling, and the bottles are then aged extensively in our cellars until released for sale.
