HUGEL ET FILS " GENTIL " ALSACE ,0.75 L, *WINESCOUT7*, FR.- ALSACE

WineScout7: ...Der aktuelle Jahrgang des Hugel et Fils Gentil zeigt sich im Glas in einem leichten Grün. Der aromatische Duft ist dicht und duftig und floral. Fruchtige Komponenten wie Aprikose, gelber Pfirsich, Birne, Quitte, Gewürz und Lakritz schmeicheln diesem harmonischen Bouquet. Tasting notes by Serge Dubs, World's Best Sommelier 1989 : This wine has a wonderfully intense and lively colour with a nice crystalline metallic sheen over a young, fresh and alert pale green with hints of pale yellow. When rolled in the glass its legs are structured and oily. It has a magnificent pure and sophisticated aroma which generously releases a sense of freshness, openness and perfumed, expressive, fruity and floral spontaneity with delicate hints of muscat, white peach, lemon balm, rose, hawthorn, jasmine, freesia, lime-tree and cherry blossom, lychee and pear. One is immediately impressed by its rare elegance and aromatic charm. On the palate it reveals all of its harmony and balance. This is a fresh and refreshing dry wine, with a wonderful heady and rounded generosity that is combined with a remarkable sapidity, it has a full and delicious flavour that is filled with charm and sophistication. This wine is the result of only the best wine-making experience and techniques, the 2015 harvest produced very healthy and mature grapes. Best consumed immediately or within 3 years as an aperitif. Best served at 8°C to accompany oven-baked or pan-fried fish, in cream sauce, red mullet, turbot, sander, lobster, crab and oriental or spiced Indian dishes. This is a wine which goes perfectly well with all kinds of dishes and cooking styles, including white meat, veal, poultry and pheasant.
