Hugel & Fils

Hugel & Fils, Riquewihr –
13 generations of Alsatian wine culture
Hugel & Fils is one of the few wineries whose history stretches back further than most European countries. The family has been cultivating vines in Riquewihr – one of the most densely populated wine-growing villages in Alsace, nestled between the Vosges Mountains and the Rhine plain – since 1639. Today, Jean-Philippe, Etienne, and Marc Hugel run the estate in its 13th generation, without losing sight of the essentials: precision in the vineyard and patience in the cellar.
On approximately 30 hectares, a large portion of which are in Grand Cru vineyards such as Schoenenbourg, vines with an average age of 35 years are cultivated. Hugel deliberately forgoes the official Grand Cru label – their own quality standards are simply higher. Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir showcase the depth and aromatic complexity that Alsace has to offer: from the crisp minerality of dry Rieslings to the multifaceted spice of a Vendange Tardive.
As a member of Primum Familiae Vini, Hugel ranks among the most prestigious family wineries in the world – and remains what it has always been: a family business that grows, produces and bottles its own wines.
