Hugel Gentil is Alsace’s classic Gentil from Hugel & Fils—a bright, aromatic white built from the region’s noble varieties (Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Muscat). It offers a perfumed nose, crisp acidity, and a mineral backbone, with citrus and stone-fruit flavors. Versatile at table—from seafood and poultry to gently spiced Asian dishes—and a reliable aperitif option.
