2011 Immich-Batterieberg Enkircher Monteneubel Spätburgunder
9/20/2023 - originalverkorkt Likes this wine: 90 Points
I've always been a big fan of Monteneubel 2011, Gernot Kollmann's Pinot Noir at the time was not destemmed, fermented over 30 days and has just 11% alcohol. It has possessed a slight cassis reduction note throughout its life. Even now, although it is on the wane.
.
While Gernot's crew picked the first grapes from the Monteneubel for his rosé today, I once again opened a bottle. The wine smells fine and elegant of cherries, the said cassis, some autumn leaves and stone. On the palate, it is a light-footed, lively and present Pinot with a pleasant acidity and melted tannin. The lightness in alcohol matches the drinkability the wine offers.

2019 Claude Riffault Sancerre Rouge La Noue
9/17/2023 - originalverkorkt Does not like this wine: 82 Points
I am a big, yes sehjr big fan of the white Sancerre and Rosé of Riffault. But this Sanceere rouge is not beautiful at all. A cooked fruit, a lot of alcohol, lack of balance and freshness. We could not drink more than half a glass.

2022 Claude Riffault Sancerre Rosé La Noue
9/17/2023 - originalverkorkt Likes this wine: 93 Points
Stéphane Riffault's Pinot Noir vines are located in La Noue, a terroir with white soils. He has 2.5 hectares of vines spread over seven adjacent plots. There are vines of different ages in a wide range, and from freshly planted to almost 100 years old. The grapes were harvested by hand, sorted and pneumatically pressed very slowly after a short standing period. The juice was fermented spontaneously in conical concrete fermenters and aged on the lees for 14 months in wooden barrels of multiple occupancy.
Salmon color of medium intensity
From the first moment, it is clear that this is a Pinot Rosé that has few rivals to fear. It is a complex, elegant and at the same time lively wine that belongs to the rather fragrant fine rosés. The red berry and cherry flavors are underpinned with some smoke, crushed stone and herbs.
On the palate, La Noue Rosé offers a successful blend of power, depth, elegance and deep red berry and cherry fruitiness. The wine has tension, juiciness, finesse, fills the mouth, has freshness and spice. The cherry aromas are still a bit prominent at the moment, as is the somewhat powerful structure on the mid palate and the wood, but that will integrate. The wine is still young, after all, and it is made like a serious red wine that needs time. Crucially, this wine has finesse, depth and substance. This is a Pinot Noir rosé, as you get it so complete only very rarely in the glass. Certainly one of the best rosés I know.
