A kaleidoscope of grapiness, produced exclusively from hand harvested grapes in predominantly clay and limestone vineyards, from a dozen of the most favored localities in and around Riquewihr. Gentil "Hugel" allies the suave, spicy flavor of Gewurztraminer, the body of Pinot Gris, the finesse of Riesling, the grapiness of Muscat and the refreshing character of both Pinot Blanc and Sylvaner.
Gentil has become a joyous, convivial wine whose arrival the Hugel family always awaits with impatience in the spring following each vintage. Gentil shows pure, fresh aromas, very fruit-driven and floral, as well as expressive and flattering. On the palate, this dry wine has a lively, youthful fresh character that is refreshing, with a pleasant, scented finish. Gentil is a perfect wine to sip with friends or to enjoy with simple everyday meals. Gentil is best enjoyed chilled with saltwater and freshwater fish, shellfish, starters and hors d'oeuvres.

Gentil has been Hugel's calling card for dry Alsace white for years - always with a residual sugar level of around 3.5 to 4.5 g/L. The 2021 Gentil Hugel is fragrant with tender white blossom and honeysuckle. The palate is fruity, light, aromatic and has a lovely concentration that belies the price. Very easy to like and an ideal and very versatile wine with a tremendous global following - and of substantial commercial importance to Hugel. Always reliable. (Dry)
