White Alsace - 1996

1996 " Snow in the middle of the harvest!" Catherine Faller can smile at the memory now, but this sudden onslaught of bad weather was much less amusing at the time. The result ? "Wines with high acidity, which fortunately didn't have time to be diluted, very green at the time, but perfectly elegant in the 2000s." Nor is there any hint of green in the opulence of Hugel's Tokay-Pinot Gris Vendanges Tardives. Potent truffle on the nose, in the mouth it has simply retained a lively attack, notes of lemon, pineapple and white pepper and then again truffle in the mouth, before finishing on apricot and pineapple. Not really suggestive of snow...
