Müller - Dr. Becker
MDCXXV Spätburgunder
Rheinhessen, Germany
Comparing both side by side. Left is Dijon 777 clone and right is F105 German clone. They are same year, same soil, same wine maker, same process. And uncorked and poured simultaneously. Color is almost identical. But flavor and aroma is really different. The 777 opened faster, is more aromatic, brighter cherry, a bit floral. The F105 is deeper, earthier, and has a different fruit characteristic, not sure what it is though. Sour cherry with a hint of balsamic?

May 9th, 2025This is the Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) and not the Chardonnay. Normally it is a blend of two clones, but he vinified some separately. This is only the Dijon 777 clone, he also vinified the German F105 to allow comparison. The Dijon 777 is classic floral soft Burgundy, earthy forest floor, dark cherry, bright red berries, beautiful acidity. Tannins are present for structure and flavour, but not astringent or bitter. Reminds me of Chambolle-Musigny.
