Hugel Gentil '15
France, Alsace
White blend
$18ish
Poundability: 2.5/5
Value: 3/5
Overall: 3/5
Pale yellow golden color, light bodied.
Flavors of candied apple, with a nice zestyness. Lemony at tip of tongue while also having a delicious tangy flavor that didn't taste cheap.
Very dry but still containing a bright, vibrant acidity that doesn't overpower at all. Incredibly complex despite a relatively short finish. Acidity brings down poundability along with zestyness but not in a bad way at all. Prime introduction to Alsace wine, would repeat.
Picture pending.
