"Two thousand ten was a small-production year due to flowering issues, and in Alsace there's almost always a problem with flowering," Marc Hugel told me in September."It seemed to take forever, lasting over three weeks, while in 2011 and 2009 the flowering was over in eight days."Followers of this producer know that although Hugel doesn't use the names of grand crus on their labels (though I have heard rumors that they might finally relent and bottle and label a grand cru as such in the near future), they in fact own some splendid vineyards in a number of the most famous grand crus of all, including almost 80% of the historic Sporen (which like all the other grand crus has been greatly expanded over the years), as well as six hectares in the Schoenenbourg and a small extension into the Sonnenglantz.As unbelievable as it may sound, in 2010 Hugel made 25% of all the SGNs in Alsace, as the cold clay soils of the Sporen (especially) allowed for late harvesting, long hang time and very high acidity levels. Also recommended:2011 Gentil (86), 2010 Pinot Noir (86), 2010 Gewurztraminer (86).
