Jubilee Alsace Riesling 2009

Shay A
9.4

*pic of the white wines* One of the wines I supplied for an annual lunch hosting (co-host this time), along with the 2018 Morlet LpD. 2009 was the last year Hugel used “Jubilee” before moving to “Grossi Laüe”. This is Hugel’s “Grand Cru” selection from their Schoenenbourg vineyard.

Undeniably Alsatian Riesling in the glass from first whiff…floral, minerals, and only slightly TDN (petrol) aromatic driven, but noticeable power. Vintage (and age) has helped this reach a fantastic drinking window where acidity and flavor profile are in balance and not fighting each other. Ripe herb-crusted yellow fruits alongside limestone/mineral in a powerful profile. There is warmth to this vintage and it makes an appearance in how fleshy the wine is (which is great). At almost 16yrs, there is no rush, but this drinking window is exceptional.

Need to find a Riesling like this. Haven’t had a great one in forever.

I have a fondness for Alsatian Riesling, especially from the OG producers. These older Hugel wines (either Jubille or the new Grossi Laue designation) are always a treat.

Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 1989

1989 vintage. Decent fill and cork. Not decanted. Powdery, not chunky, sed. Tasted after 3.5 hours open. Light-medium body. Nose and flavors kept up the intensity in complete harmony. Special. Well-stored examples should yield similar pleasure for another 5-6 years. 03.29.25. — 5 months ago

Château de Pommard

Famille Giraud Grand Vin Pommard Pinot Noir 2010

Given an hour in the decanter this wine comes alive. Soft and earthy with a kiss of red fruit with a hint of barnyard that comes with age. — 4 years ago
