Hugel, Riesling Schoelhammer Vintage:2011 An elegant and pure nose

An elegant and pure nose is notably ripe but evidences ample classic Chablis aromas that include pear

All but invisible wood sets off the very ripe nose of spiced plum and black raspberry along with hints of violet

There is excellent richness

imposing Barolo will require patience

Hugel, Riesling Schoelhammer Vintage:2011 An elegant and pure noseThe crown in the Hugel jewels, Schoelhammer comes from 30 rows in the core of Grand Cru Shoenenbourg, high above Riquewihr. An intense, dry and mineral charged Riesling with floral aromas and concentrated lime lemon zest flavours. Fermented in neutral oak, this retains absolute purity and clarity of flavour. Bottled in Spring 2012, this vintage was first released in 2018. Still very youthful and with decades ahead.
