Magnum white Alsace Gewurztraminer Late Harvest 2005 Hugel

Magnum of White Alsace Gewurztraminer Vendange Tardive 2005 Hugel

A luscious treasure from an exceptional sunny vintage

This 2005 Gewurztraminer Vendange Tardive from the prestigious Domaine Hugel, presented in magnum format, is one of the most noble expressions of the iconic Alsatian grape variety. Made from grapes harvested in overripeness, this sweet, rich, and opulent wine pays tribute to the generosity of the Alsatian terroir and the elegance of the Hugel style.

The 2005 vintage, particularly hot and dry, allowed for the concentration of sugars and aromas, while maintaining balancing acidity. The result is a wine of great complexity, perfectly suited for aging or meditative tasting.

• Color: Golden, brilliant, with amber reflections.
• Nose: Very expressive and captivating, with intense notes of lychee, rose, candied orange peel, honey, sweet spices, and exotic fruits.
• Palate: Velvety, smooth, yet supported by remarkable freshness. The sugar/acidity balance is exemplary. Long finish on candied fruit, beeswax, and a typical peppery touch of Gewurztraminer.

This dessert or meditation wine will enhance:

• Pan-seared foie gras or terrine
• Spicy dishes (Thai, Indian cuisine)
• Blue-veined cheeses (Bleu d’Auvergne, Roquefort)
• Fruity desserts or those made with almond paste

The magnum format allows for a slow and harmonious evolution, ideal for this sweet wine with long aging potential. This 2005 Gewurztraminer Vendange Tardive Hugel magnum is a rare wine, sought after by collectors and perfect for grand gastronomic occasions.
