If Forst is the Vosne-Romanée of the Pfalz, Deidesheim is the Chambolle-Musigny with the emphasis more on elegance. Deidesheim is also one of the most beautiful wine towns I have been to in well-over forty years of such wine visits.(Continue reading here.)

Kirchenstück is for me the greatest Riesling vineyard in the Pfalz, if not all of Germany. But just as Romanée-Conti is not always the greatest wine of a given vintage in Burgundy, so that is not always the case with Kirchenstück. But there is high quality, nonetheless. (Continue reading here.)

Great wines here. Especially notable are the wines from von Buhl which, across the board, were outstanding to great in 2021. The years of the overly-reductive style are becoming a distant memory. (Continue reading here.)

Next, we move to Deidesheim, which is to Riesling in the Pfalz what Chambolle-Musigny is to Pinot Noir in the Côte d’Or, with tender, seductive wines. (Continue reading here.)

We finish up Forst with Freundstück, a very good vineyard, but surclassed by Jesuitengarten, possibly the second best Riesling vineyard in the Pfalz, and Kirchenstück, the greatest Riesling vineyard in the Pfalz and maybe all of Germany and the world. This is Forst in all its glory. (Continue reading here.)

Now we begin the exploration of Forst, the Pfalz’s equivalent of Vosn-Romanée in Burgundy. All are excellent Ungeheurs, but Mosbacher and von Bassermann-Jordan have made two of the greatest Rieslings of the vintage (or any other). (Continue reading here.)
2019 Pfalz Riesling GG Part I: Reiterpfad-Hofstück, Kieselberg, Freundstück, Jesuitengarten, Kirchenstück, Pechstein, Ungeheuer from Buhl and Schaefer)
In the past, I’ve argued for holding back release of GG wines an additional year, and some producers, such as these, have begun doing so (not an easy changeover from a cash flow perspective). But it may be that with the 2019s, many have already gone into a closed down phase. These were not easy wines to evaluate. (Continue reading here.)
Late-released 2017 Pfalz Riesling GG (Freundstück, Jesuitengarten, Kirchenstück, Pechstein, Reiterpfad, Ungeheuer) - von Buhl, Bürklin-Wolf
Riechsrat von BUHL
Winemaker Matthieu Kauffmann, who had come to von Buhl from the Bollinger Champagne house in 2013, abruptly left von Buhl this past August. In his time at von Buhl, he had introduced a new style of very nervy, reductive, high-acid wines that proved popular with the German-speaking press (he was named Falstaff magazine’s winemaker of the year this past April) . We’ll see down the road if his successor follows this same style.
Although these wines are different from what others have been doing from these vineyards, as my notes below show, I was a fan. (Continue reading here.)
