Hugel Jubilee Gewurztraminer 2006

A fine Gewurz from perhaps the best and most prominent producer in Alsace. Parker's tasting notes (from 2010) comments :

"While average acidity in our Riesling grapes has dropped over the last 20 years,” points out Marc Hugel, “that of our Gewurztraminer has risen,” a comment to bear in mind when approaching his 2006 Gewurztraminer Jubilee, which almost suggests Riesling to the extent of its brightness and vivacity. Snap pea, rose petal, nutmeg, and a hint of white truffle in the nose lead into a palate of tender creaminess yet infectious juiciness that helps it over a bit of finishing bitterness. This will prove extremely versatile over the next 2-3 years, if not longer.

Jean “Johnny” Hugel – a man without whom the reputation and evolution of Alsace wine since the end of the Second World War is unimaginable – died last summer. His wit will be irreplaceable, but his spirit and insights will continue to guide and inspire not only his family’s 371 year old firm, but – with luck, at least – the future development of Alsace wine as a whole. Not surprisingly, the Hugels were thrilled with their results in 2007, but as Marc Hugel points out “twenty years or more ago, a rot- and mildew-prone summer like 2007’s would have spelled disaster.” As for what would have become of 2006 “in the old days” even with the best will in the world, the Hugels preferred not to dwell on that. “I have to be honest,” relates Etienne Hugel, “in 2006, when I saw the grapes that came in toward the end from the estate – not to mention the purchased grapes – I said, ‘Mark, we aren’t going to be able to sell that!’. We scarified the fruit from less well-drained soils and picked those last. And we ended up selling off one third of our grapes.” That said, from a widely-distributed, combined estate-negociant like Hugel, a vintage such as 2006 with its extensive declassification offers a wide range of consumers the potential to drink wine from top estate sites at a lower price. And as it is, Hugel – like their best-known friendly competitor in the U.S. market, Trimbach – has hardly been resting on their laurels or neglecting the quality of their basic (or, as they prefer “classic”) bottlings: on the contrary, these are becoming steadily better and more consistent.
