8.5

Young, brightly acid, but not overly so, and already beginning to show the lovely earthiness of an older Morgon. Looking forward to revisiting it. — 10 years ago

7.0

2013. Garnet. Wood spice and cherry on the nose. Very fruity at first on the palette—classic pinot red fruits—but yielding quickly to too sour cranberries, too tart raspberries, even unripe plum. Light+ bodied, high acidity, mild tannins, medium finish. Left me a bit cold. — 10 years ago

9.1

Star of a meal with many other good wines. Drank it for pudding/dessert with strawberries, and it was almost the same colour as the inside of the fruit. Lovely mouthful of bubbles, floral and fruity, good acid. Didn't detect any toastiness or yeastiness, which I happen to savour in a champagne drunk alone. Great to find a small house like this. Much class. — 10 years ago

8.5

Classic Mosel kabinett. Off dry. Honey, citrus, pineapple. Well rounded for its price point, but could use some more acidity. Will definitely drink it again. — 10 years ago
