Müller-Catoir Weissburgunder Herrenletten Trocken 2020

92+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): “The premier cru bottling of Herrenletten Weissburgunder is a bit riper than the Haardt cuvée in this vintage, coming in at 13.5 percent alcohol and carrying just a touch more residual sweetness at 3.5 grams per liter. The soils here are clay and sandstone, with a vein of chalk running through them. The wine delivers a deep and nascently complex aromatic constellation of pineapple, nectarine, a hint of banana, wet stone minerality and a beautiful array of tropical floral tones. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with zesty acids, excellent focus and grip, a superb core and a long, complex and vibrant finish. This is a truly exceptional example of Weissburgunder and a step up from the very good Haardt bottling. 2021-2040+. (Jan/Feb 2022)”
