Funky skin contact Pinot Gris. Grapefruit and orange/lime, chewy with the most delightfully soft, full texture. No hard edges. You can have fun just rolling this around in your mouth after getting getting a nose of caramel/citrus/damp earth/funk nose.

E&M’s new top whites (with new labels) are pure genius - Cellar tasting 05/15/2024. This is skin contact Pinot Gris from old vines. Orange but clean and filtered no funk at all. This is simply the best I ever had. Ridiculous pretty amber color, quince jam, tart apricot, port wine and stone fruits. I am addicted. Florian Moll is ‘the man’. Unless the Michelin ⭐️ ‘s gobble this up (I heard from Florian dishes are being designed for this wine). — 3 days ago
A 💤 giant. One barrel made. Herbaceous nose. Very powerful and that at 12%!!! Coiled and ready to pounce in 10 years from now - for expert tasters only. Not drinkable nor try-able or ready for the classic consumer. Difficult to taste and evaluate. A collectors wine. Intoxicating intense cherry nose. Super fine morello cherries in the glass, cherry aux de vie and yes almonds, very astringent (way too young) with incredible fine tannins. Lime, black tea and barely noticeable thyme. — 4 days ago
A major leap here. Clean and crisp. Some skin contact. But this is not your average Orange wine. Filtered lightly. No sediment at all! Apricot, mandarine, plenty of acid, big and broad with a lot of body. A little more rustic then their new top of the line whites with new labels. — 3 days ago
Tasted the E&M line up at the winery. It was mind blowing!!!!!🤯. These are the best wines they ever made. Both the reds and the whites were great from top to bottom. Kirsch Sauerkirsche, red currant, tart.
Light and elegant hint herbs a stupido good wine. And for the price unbeatable. — 4 days ago
Best Rose ever from some of the best grapes they farm - almost like a red - look at the color! Lots of umpf! Orange 🍊 ish nose. Darker fruit mostly with dollop of wild Strawberries and plenty of Bing cherries yet still tart. Harribo bears - the red ones! Dangerously drinkable. Unbeatable if you like E&M’s style. Cellar worthy. Superb vintage. — 3 days ago
Fleshy and big at this point with amazing tannins. Too young. Cherry 🍒 driven at this point - the classic E&M black forest herbs are there. Seems to me comparable to a GC Vosne. This is a tremendous effort and will improve over time to a glorious benchmark Pinot. I suspect my rating will go up to a 9.8+ in 5 years. What a wine! Should have bought cases! — 13 days ago

Second from right. Beats red burgundies with ease…The 2022’s red and whites might be the best vintage they ever made. The whites are creative and unique - but the reds just floored me. Like a 1er Cru Gevrey Chambertin but better. Much better. Deep dark cherry galore, but also spice and it improved with oxidation over 48 hours, hints of lime, bark, just a touch of pine needles…fantastically framed at this point by high amounts at tannins. Even this mid level wine blowed my socks off. With a sense of place which the chiseled and fine tuned wines in Burgundy have lost. — 3 days ago
