91 Points James Suckling | All at once, this is ripe, generous, cool and fragrant. A wide range of aromas, from lemon zest to honeysuckle. The joyful fruit and freshness make this juicy dry white so easy to enjoy, but the balance is also spot-on. Clearly the best vintage ever of this wine. (2020).
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.

Stephan Reinhardt writes: Blending all of the six famous grape varieties cultivated in Alsace, the 2020 Gentil Hugel offers a clear, fresh and intense fruit bouquet that is clear and stimulating. On the palate, this is a light, fresh and fruity but also well structured and persistent Gentil with good intensity, acidity, power and phenolic grip with stimulating bitters. Refreshing. - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Kristen Bieler writes: A floral, expressive white, with talclike mineral notes flanking citrus zest, gardenia blossoms and juicy lychee. Charming and aromatic, with wet stone accents supporting the luscious fruit. Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Sylvaner, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Muscat. Drink now. - Wine Spectator
