The one and only. One of the best values in all of German wine. Stunning nose. Smells as deep as a GG. Just insane. The aromas of the fruit are so clean and so precise. Just amazing. Peach skin, peach flesh, apricot, nougat, caramel aromas show this is baby Hergott. It’s so precise and so clean but also nuanced and deep. Just a stunning nose. Glorious spice and deep deep minerals. Airy. So so killer. Blind I’d say GG. Wow. I love this wine. So so salty in 2019! U la la! Juicy and so concentrated but elegant and energetic. Sappy peach and apricot fruits on the finish. But also laser like, rapier like minerality. Amazingly pure and deep. So balanced and serene. A zen like experience. Long finish that alternates between fruit, saline and gorgeous mineral. Amazing mouthfeel and purity. Just a stunning Molsheim. Clean finish that just echoes and slowly dissipates. So beautiful.

After some air wow. Herbs on the nose. Hit of honey and the minerals start to waft. Stunning balance and freshness and complex spice and ridiculous fruit on the finish. This is amazing. — 6 years ago

Very serene zen nose. Mineral. Some mid-season cherry fruit. After 10 minutes the fruit aromatically erupts like a volcano. Strawberry and watermelon. Wow. Really great. Classic Beaune Prévoles tweed jacket as well. Just wafting aromas. Palate has ungodly 2018 fruit. Stunning purity and mouthfeel. Balance is magical. Refined and superbly elegant. Velvety tannins and very chewy. Long finish with a hint of rusticity. Pure. Lovely. — 6 years ago

Fantastic. At least as great as any grand cru white Burgundy I've had in recent memory. The only reason it's not a dead ringer for something super-fancy in the Puligny environs is that it is, if anything, even more finessed (and not premoxed). It has all the crystalline purity but the material is so gentle it's not only seamless but edgeless, a real zen garden of a wine. It is bright and instantly cleansing but isn't depending on screeching acidity for that effect, instead it's as calm and serene as still water. But gentle does not mean light or lean. It is very expressive of the fruit, very typical chardonnay flavors here with just a touch of flint though with the mineral element getting much, much stronger in the leftovers a few days later, at which point the grand cru Puligny personality is positively uncanny. — 10 years ago

So. This wine. A perfect zen moment. Picture this: You're all alone. But then you connect with someone. You meet this someone who inspires you and it's a humbling moment in your life that takes you back into time and lets you reminisce about all the good things life and this world has to offer. Stunning reflective wine. Just sip, think, meditate and relax. — 9 years ago
