Müller - Dr. Becker
MDCXXV Spätburgunder
Rheinhessen, Germany
This 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.
