Clemens Busch, Marienburg 'Raffes' GL 2020
Clemens Busch’s Raffes 2020 is a powerful, single-vineyard Riesling from the steep slopes of the Mosel. Sourced from 100-year-old, ungrafted vines rooted deep in the slate soils of the Marienburg vineyard, it’s the estate’s most intense and structured expression. The wine comes from Weingut Clemens Busch, one of the leading biodynamic estates in the Mosel. Clemens and his wife Rita have been pioneers of organic and biodynamic farming here since the 1980s, long before it became common practice. They focus on single-vineyard bottlings that highlight the different slate soils (blue, grey, red) of the Marienburg hillside.
Meursault Premier Cru 'Les Porusots', Domaine de Montille 2023
The 2023 vintage reflects a year of moderate warmth with consistent sunshine, leading to steady, well-paced ripening. Although temperatures weren’t extreme, the shift to warmer nights and milder days contributed to extended growing periods. This translated into wines that are strikingly fresh, with lower alcohol levels, vivid acidity, and vibrant character—brighter and more approachable compared to recent years. Both red and white wines achieved impressive yields, the largest ever recorded for the estate, with terroir expression and balance shining through. For reds, comparisons to the 2017 vintage are apt, showcasing elegance and precision. Whites carry their hallmark freshness and minerality, further underscored by the decision to reduce the percentage of new oak due to the larger volumes produced. The domaine features as one of the Top 10 Côte de Beaune Red Wine, and White Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2023 Special Report.
