Hugel Gewurztraminer 1999 Selection De Grains Nobles 75cl / 11%

A bottle of 1999 Hugel Gewurztraminer Selection de Grains Nobles, from the Alsace region of France.

1999 was the Hugel family's 360th vintage in Alsace, and the SGN was picked, berry by berry on the 5th November from the oldest plots of the Sporen Grand Cru.

'...complex bouquet reveals the character of over-ripe Gewurztraminer grapes, affected by botrytis (noble rot) under ideal conditions, with aromas of honey, figs, dates, currants, papaya, mango, baked apple and yellow peach. It is wonderfully well balanced, its ideally sweet and velvety liqueur character envelopes the palate without being either cloying or heavy. Extremely elegantly expressed and harmonious' Serge Dubs, World's Best Sommelier 1989
