Gorgeous wine and the only Swiss wine we have from the French side. Nose is all spice and it’s a dizzying array. Some soppy red cherries as well. Palate is ripe and so elegant with stunning freshness and purity. A bit of heat though not in the 21. It’s 14.1 and it’s showing. — 3 days ago
Stunning nose and such a light color. Citrus, slate and red berries and red cherries. Woodland berries with tons of forest. Unreal spice and such pure aromas. Palate is super elegant and mineral with gossamer like texture and gorgeous early season cherries and such lovely citrus tang on the finish. Really amazing texture but this needs lots of air like his Rieslings. So juicy and such terrific freshness. — 4 days ago
First time since barrel in summer of 23 and it blew me away then. Gorgeous and pointed cherries on the nose, some minerals, bittersweet cocoa, spice, metal shavings and more. Gorgeous but will need some time to become more aromatic. Palate is a little discombobulated on the PNP but it’s all there. Grippy, dramatic fruit, amazing length and fruit density, gorgeous purity and grandiose minerality. It needs to come together though. It will. Really coming into its own with minimal air as that finesse is something else. And so so juicy. So fresh and energetic and what amazing fruit cling!! With air this comes alive with just exquisitely perfumed fruit. Perfect balance. Really great. — 13 hours ago

Really stunning wine. Maybe best one ever and I have had everyone since 14. Nose is dripping with terror, deep forest, rain soaked moss, light sweet wood, burst of minerals and some green apple skins. But so stunningly pure. Palate is rich and ripe but so pure and juicy. Elegant and deep with a lovely opulence and wonderful freshness and lift. Impressive finish. Such an airy yet dense wine. Just glorious. — a day ago
Complex nose of spice, early to mid season cherries and tons of limestone. Needs air but so pretty for such a humble wine. Unreal fruit on the palate. Dense and explosive with great purity and superb minerality. Really impressive but does need air. 21 Pinots from Germany and so transparent but do need air. I will be back. Good concentration and sapidity with air. Lots of raspberry coulis today. 9.1 to 9.2 overnight. — 4 days ago
Like Vosne Romanee but less concentrated and slutty. — 6 days ago

Outstanding. Superb and sweeping aromatics of flowers and mid season cherry and a tiny hint of plum. Gorgeous. Tobacco and florals for days. So juicy, dense and elegant with glorious fruit and juiciness. Intense minerality on the finish and velvety but substantial and perfectly ripe tannins. Long finish. — 9 hours ago
