JONTÉ HUGEL ALSACE FRANCE PINOT GRIS 2020 Rated 92 by James Suckling In the glass, the color is straw-yellow with nice, slightly coppery highlights. The aroma is youthful; the variety has yellow fruit and floral notes that remain in their most simple state when the wine is in its early years. Once aged in the bottle, there are hints of more mature fruit: fig, apricot, pear, and the more typical notes of noble wood. The flavor is rounded and mouth-watering, light yet full-bodied, and held together with the property’s usual sense of equilibrium with a pleasantly acidic structure that makes it a perfect table wine. It makes any holiday gathering complete. $21.98 $27.99 aromatic and extroverted through its floral and spicy notes.
