The Rich History of the Hugel Family and Gewurztraminer

After the devastation of the Thirty Years' War, Hans Ulrich Hugel settled in the charming town of Riquewihr. In 1638, Hugel rose to prominence in the town and soon took over the helm of the prestigious brewers' guild. His legacy was cemented when his son built a house on Rue des Cordiers, where the family crest was engraved above the door. This emblem remains the company logo to this day. Fast forward to the present day, and the eleventh generation, represented by Jean Philippe and Marc Hugel, continues the tradition of crafting the remarkable Hugel Gewürztraminer Classic.
