  ABV: 13.5%

  Closure: Cork

  Joseph Colin initially trained at Domaine Marc Colin, working alongside his brother, Pierre-Yves, to make the family wines. In 2016, Joseph decided to create his own Domaine, and, subsequently, inherited just over six hectares of vineyards from his family holdings, representing about nineteen different appellations, to start his exciting new venture. Keeping yields low, Joseph picks on the early side to retain an unmistakable purity and freshness in his wines. He likes the tension and vibrancy in his whites, and feels it is a signature of his output. Purity is a word that Joseph particularly associates with his wines, since he doesn't like heavy handed or reductive and oaky wines, but rather he allows the different terroirs to shine through truly in the glass. The wines display a tense and vibrant profile, championing minerality and finesse yet there is a comforting richness in the mid-palate.

  Other Reviews....
  Riper though still quite fresh and bright aromas include those of apple compote, acacia blossom and a suggestion of crushed star anise. There is good volume to the nicely concentrated and fleshy medium weight flavors that possess a sappy mouthfeel that buffers the bone-dry, youthfully austere and balanced finale. Here too a few years of cellar time should prove beneficial. Drink through 2027+.

  Young vines, the first vintage was 2019. Full mid yellow. This joins Les Frionnes the most stylish and floral of the wines to date on the nose. White fruit on the palate a little richer and riper with a softer finish and slightly oaky. Drink from 2024-2026.

  Here the equally restrained nose is dominated by a smoky petrol character along with background citrus nuances. There is slightly better volume and mid-palate density to the delicious middleweight flavors that possess a lovely texture and evident minerality on the very dry and lingering but not really austere finale. Lovely. Drink through 2028+.

  Clear pale lemon. An impression of density on the nose. This is much the most complete as it combines the extra fruit intensity of Champlots with more of a limestone minerality, so fleshy and fresh together. Very tasty! Drink from 2025-2028.

  The vines are getting older which is bringing more precision as well as concentration. Three plots, one very old, the middle aged one improving. This is a very good example of the vineyard, with flesh on the bones whereas the flavours can be a little shallower this high on the hillside.

  This comes from Les Travers du Marinot section. Fine pale primrose, a little more concentration while retaining the stricter character. Pure white fruit, fattening out just a little at the finish, a touch of liquorice, attractive and ripe enough.

  Top of the vineyard. Second plot, was red, left fallow 6 years. There is a little more flesh to this without losing the basic Joseph Colin style which is more austere than most. Perhaps because of the youth of the vines the finish is not quite as long, but the wine has been beautifully put together. Very attractive to drink reasonably soon.

  NB This cuvée will have a different name in USA market. It comes from 9 plots in seven lieux-dits so Joseph may choose Les 7 Terroirs. Pale lemon colour, a light reduction to the nose. Lime notes on the palate, very much a classically crisp St-Aubin, with modest flesh but fine persistence.

  From two plots so now called Les Hauts de la Combe to bring in the names of the two lieux -dits. This has been bottled without fining or filtering. Pale colour, light yellow fruit, but again these are not high levels of ripeness. Very slight confection at the back but a good volume of fruit and excellent clean acidity.

  Notes of pear, white flowers, wheat toast, honeycomb and apricot introduce Colin's 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Vide Bourse, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered wine that's simultaneously gourmand and chiseled, reflecting the combination of ripeness and acidity that defines the vintage at its best. Drink 2021 - 2038.

  William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 2021)

  Picked on the first day of the harvest, along with Vide Bourse, yet the last to be racked, having been slow to finish fermentation. Pale primrose, clearly more backward, still some fermentation aromas, good weight of course, excellent acidity, still so backward. I like the level of intensity though. Very long finish. Wait and see, but very promising.

  From two plots, Remilly itself on the plateau, which does not frost, and Les Cortons below. There was a decent crop in 2019 despite the comparative drought. 13.5%. Clear pale colour, the nose is quite restrained, with massive intensity on the palate, all in white fruit, not excessive, finishes very well.

  Now a blend of 8 terroirs as Vermarain has been added this year, just above the 1er cru. Pale colour with green tints, and a fresh, attractive St-Aubin nose.

  The 2019 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chien is one of the ripest wines in the cellar, but that would be hard to discern in a blind tasting.

  Purchased grapes, but with input from Joseph during the growing season. A very small crop due to the drought. 13.8%. Nonetheless, the Murgers has much the same pale colour as the other 1ers crus, still with a light green tint. The nose suggests significant succulence to come. Concentrated very pure white fruit, but with structure, filling out the back of the palate very well.

  Joseph likes to pick this first. This site gets the sun earlier, and indeed the bouquet is more perfumed, with just a little touch of beneficial reduction. Joseph aims to keep all the CO2 gas, which is adding a nice little tingle. Enough flesh behind, very well balanced, a fuller white fruit to finish.

  ABV: 13.5%

  Closure: Cork

  Domaine Faiveley was founded in 1825, and while they have been known for producing outstanding quality wines throughout this time, they are widely considered one of the most improved domaines in Burgundy over the last decade. Since taking over from his father Francois, Erwan Faiveley has made a deliberate decision to emphasise freshness and purity of fruit rather than fruit extraction, and at times, excessive use of new oak. This change has resulted in wines with greater refinement and vineyard character expression.

  On the border of Puligny-Montrachet, this is a south-east facing plot with a mix of silt and stony soil. The site was once covered with hornbeam trees, 'charmes' in French, hence the name.

  Lifted notes of crushed citrus foliage set the aromatic tone on the nose of this wine. The dry palate keeps these vivid citrus notions but backs them with a riper backing track that suggests Mirabelle plum. The wine has elegance, sinuousness and a svelte but concentrated nature. The dry finish is fresh and appetizing. Drink by 2030.

  A fresh and pure nose if mildly exotic nose offers up notes of white and yellow orchard fruit, melon and tidal pool. The lush and opulent but punchy medium-bodied flavors possess a seductively textured and dry finale thanks to the citrus-tinged acid spine. This refined effort is certainly very rich but it doesn't lack for verve and this too should drink well young.

  The 2018 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru is a dense, spherical wine built on power and texture. Lemon confit, apricot, marzipan, dried flowers, chamomile all build as this creamy, voluptuous Chablis shows off its vivid personality. Bright saline notes cut through all the richness, giving the wine energy and a sense of crystalline beauty that is not easy to express with words. Today, I find the 2018 just a bit closed. I won't be surprised if it is even better from bottle.

  Here too there is a discreet but still discernible dollop of wood surrounding the airy citrus, oyster shell and sea breeze-scented nose.

This too is really quite impressive.

  This is the first wine to display any appreciable reduction and it's enough to overshadow the underlying fruit at present. There is excellent size, weight and mid-palate density to the overtly powerful big-bodied flavors that culminate in a dry, saline and solidly persistent finish. As is usually the case this is caressing and seductive yet entirely serious while offering fine aging potential.

  The savory, hazelnut-oak sits up atop some quite ripe yellow peaches and such smooth glossy fruit flesh on the palate. There’s a mineral undercurrent, holding the finish fresh and the toasty oak warms the very last taste. This is again the most complex young wine in the cellar from harvest 2018. From 70-year-old vines. Drink or hold.

  As one of the largest land holders in the premier cru of Vaillons, the Droin family makes this wine one of the best bargains in the AOC. With its south - southeast exposure and gentle slope, Vaillons is considered, along with Montmains, to be one of the top premier crus west of the Yvonne. Benoît makes an elegant version of Vaillons that is floral and mineral, particularly in warmer vintages. Only about 20% of this wine is aged in neutral barrel with the remainder in tank.

  The 2017 Chablis, due to be bottled in September, has a tightly wound, slightly chalky bouquet with hints of musk developing in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a satisfying sense of volume and precision, touches of orange zest, dried apricot and ginger with an elegant and refined finish. There is a nascent sense of panache here that you might not expect for a mere Village Cru. The key will be to capture that in bottle.

  This had just been racked and sulfur dominated the nose. Otherwise there is a sleeker and finer mouth feel to the round, delicious and again nicely vibrant flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the lingering finale. This should drink well immediately yet repay a few years of cellaring too.

  Valmur is a very powerful, imposing "climat" with a lot of minerality. This confers on the wine an austerity and a sense of reserve that are the signature of the great wines of Chablis. Yellow and white fleshed fruits like peach and apricot are revealed. In sunny years, these notes develop
  towards concentrated fruits "confits" and quince. In cool years, the floral notes such as hawthorn offer the wine of this "climat" all its distinctiveness. It is a great wine for keeping and it generally needs more than 10 years for the wine to decompress and reveal all its substance.

  The 2018 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru is another stunning wine in this range that captures the essence of the vintage beautifully. A wine of breadth, richness and volume, the 2018 is flat-out stunning.

One of thee highlights in this range, the 2018 Valmur is simply captivating.

  ABV: 13%

  It is difficult to overstate just how central Weingut Keller has become to the modern understanding of dry Riesling. Since Klaus-Peter Keller took over from his father in 2001, the estate has set a global benchmark for precision and expression, joined in recent years by his son Felix, who now plays an increasingly active role in both the vineyards and cellar. Together with Julia Keller, they continue to refine a style that balances crystalline purity with textural depth, producing some of the most sought-after wines in Germany and beyond.

  The Abtserde vineyard sits immediately above the old monastery site in Westhofen, on pure limestone soils with light marl. It is regarded as one of the estate's most finely detailed sites, producing wines defined by precision and minerality, and is among Keller's most limited bottlings.

  Other Reviews....
  From the Abtserde plot within the Brunnenhäuschen site in Westhofen, the 2023 Abts E Riesling GG is incredibly pure, deep and intense on the nose that is concentrated and chalky, with saline and lemony notes. Full-bodied, pure, fresh and saline on the palate, this is a highly complex and tight Riesling with a very intense, aromatic and structured finish. A great Riesling! Tasted as a sample in May this year. Drink 2025-2070.

  The 2023 Riesling Westhofener Brunnenhäuschen Abtserde Grosses Gewächs is from a site between Kirchspiel and Morstein with the high active limestone. The shy nose teases with immensely pure but tender lemon peel notes, still interspersed with reduction. More air adds lemon balm. The palate is a picture of slenderness, brightness, freshness and limestone coolness. Underneath that is salt, stone and immense juiciness. Zestiness reigns, bringing length, depth and extra dimensions of citrus radiance. This is luminous and pure. (Bone-dry) Drink 2028-2060.

  This is mineral magic! Unbelievably concentrated, but also unbelievably elegant and refined on the medium-bodied palate, this defies easy description. As you swirl the glass the various aromatic dimensions of the wine—stone fruit, citrus, fresh herbs and chalk dust—reveal themselves one after another. Incredibly long, pure and stony at the mind-blowing finish. Drink from release.

  The tonal scale starts to rise here to a higher note than in Morstein but also showing more obvious smoky/mineral reduction. Ripe, pure and lightly spicy citrus, becoming ever more fragrant with air. A perfect contrast between crisp acidity and a rounded, deep fullness in the mouth, very different from the Rieslings grown on slate-dominated sites. Immense power, depth and length and an icy-cool finish cutting through all that depth. Drink 2027-2040.

  Morstein is the most historic of Keller's holdings, first documented in the 13th century and renowned for its active limestone and clay-marl composition. The vineyard's elevation and exposure give it a reputation for longevity and complexity, making it a cornerstone of Keller's dry Riesling portfolio.

  From vines planted in 1944, the Westhofen 2023 Morstein Riesling GG opens intense and fine like a perfume, with wet chalk, lemon juice and yellow plum aromas.

  The 2023 Riesling Westhofener Morstein Grosses Gewächs is made from 75-year-old vines higher up in the Morstein. Just a touch of reduction still swings on the nose, but underneath, white peach, lemon balm and chervil flirt enticingly. Later on, creamy lemon joins in. Smooth serenity, absolutely cooling depth and an almost zen-like calm define the palate. Lemon at the core is almost incidental to this luminous, cool, profound wine with impeccable purity, poise and freshness. The longer you consider this, the deeper it sinks into that limestone. This is a slender, contoured monument to tranquility. (Bone-dry) Drink 2028-2060.

  Someone once described Keller's wines as the Puligny-Montrachet of Germany, and this one exemplifies that association. It’s not the grape variety that takes centre stage here, but the terroir – clay marl with limestone on a rocky subsoil. Everything comes together in perfect harmony: a silky texture, balanced ripeness, and a captivating flow. A hint of iodine mingles with citrus fruit, and the memory of this wine lingers far beyond its finish. Drink 2024-2055.

  Limestone soils. Oldest vines are 75 years old, on the highest part of the slope. Tank sample.
  An even deeper note than in the Oberer Hubacker. Spicy, rich, open in citrus and smoky/herbal complexity. A little more obvious reduction here. Altogether a darker, deeper wine that the previous wines from limestone soils. Immense concentration and power, essence of Riesling from this site, which give a more savoury complexity and seems incapable of flirting with the taster. But the taste stays with you for ever. Something here reminds me of Schubertslay even though the soils and the topography are so different. A smoky/herbal aftertaste. Drink 2027-2040.

  The 2023 Riesling Dalsheimer Oberer Hubacker Monopol Grosses Gewächs opens with prompt Amalfi lemon ripeness on the nose. Harvested from slightly richer soils, this comes in with more weight and concentration on the palate, showing immense lemon brightness and a fine-boned, crunchy texture that tingles with freshness. It’s reminiscent of lemon peel and pith, alongside vivid saltiness and even spice. With a serene bearing, cooling depth and a vibrant, saline edge, it’s all helped along by a subtle textural grip. (Bone-dry) Drink 2028-2060.

  This compact dry riesling has restrained power, but is still very young and only just beginning to open up. A wide range of aromas, from pomelo through jasmine, that are just opening up. The structure builds quite considerably as this flows over the medium-bodied palate, the fine tannins building beautifully in the very long, warm, yet refined finish. Drink from release.

  Limestone soils. 2021 was the first vintage in which they were able to label this as Oberer Hubacker, which is the original parcel of Hubacker that has been a monopoly in the Keller family for 100 years. Tank sample.
  More green fruits here than in the Kirchspiel, a deeper tone, like going down a tonal scale from von der Fels to Kirchspiel to this wine. Stony/mineral dustiness. On the palate there's great depth and richness, the wine's feet planted more squarely on the ground than those of the Kirchspiel, but it still reaches up to the sky with purity of citrus fruit and intense freshness on the finish. Very long, with extreme tension and freshness. Needs time. As it opens in the glass, it gains more smoky complexity. Drink 2026-2038.

  From 60- to 70-year-old vines, the rare 2022 Riesling Westhofener Morstein GG Alte Reben shows a clear and finely chalky bouquet with delicate but juicy fruit and a touch of exoticism but also citrus notes. Dense, juicy and fine on the palate, with delicate salinity and persistent finesse, this is a great, calm, relaxed Morstein Riesling that is not showy but radiantly confident. Tasted at the domaine July 2023. Drink 2025-2045.

  The 2022 Riesling Westhofener Morstein is from 75-year-old vines that were field-grafted over to Riesling in 2009 (halt to Pinot Noir, half to Riesling). The nose is rather muted. Just a glimmer of lemon freshness shines, with a suspicion of reduction. The juicy, chalky palate expands somehow vertically into deep limestone chalkiness and inherent coolness. For now, there is just lemon. Everything else seems locked deep in that limestone freshness and cool profoundness. It will take time to allow the undoubted fruit to loosen itself from the austere stoniness and come to the surface. The extended finish comes with lemon zest and pith. (Bone-dry) Drink 2025-2050.

  Extremely cool nose with great wild herb complexity. Yes, this is very concentrated, but the incredible finesse is what makes it stand out. Become a seeker and travel through this astonishingly varied landscape, admire the details and return home with a treasure chest of memories. Minty freshness of a kind I haven’t encountered before in this vintage. Then the journey continues through the super-long and super-subtle finish. Drink or hold.

  The concentrated power in this is fascinating. There seems to be a bit of everything: citrus, lemon zest and lemon balm, all dense and highly concentrated. In 2022, the good water retention of the heavy clay marl soils with layers of limestone ensured that the vines are adequately supplied and prevented the bitter notes typical of the vintage. The Morstein vineyard rests in the Riesling like a Buddha: lush and powerful, but also contemplative – a wine for hedonists. Drink 2028-2050.

  Tank sample. Cold soil that needs a long time to warm up but in these periods of heat and drought it is an advantage.
  Deeply flavoured and 'darker'-tasting than the Schubertslay, earthy/mineral, not in the least fruity. Smells of the land. But on the palate, there’s an explosion of freshness, of green citrus, like shards of glass, a sour-fresh finish. Intense and clenched at the moment but with fabulous intensity. Drink 2029-2039.

  The 2022 Riesling Dalsheimer Oberer Hubacker GG is very clear and reductive in its dense, aromatic and slightly salty nose, which combines fresh pineapple, delicate citrus fruit and fine herbal aromas. Juicy and intense on the palate yet fine and elegant, with delicate salinity and fine tannin structure as well as good length, this is one of Keller's finest Hubackers of the last 20 years, but it still needs some time to develop. Tasted at the domaine in July this year. Drink 2025-2039.

  The 2022 Riesling Dalsheimer Oberer Hubacker Grosses Gewächs was grown on yellow limestone. The nose is exquisitely scented, very fine, marked with chervil and lemon balm, purest lemon, yet also a flicker of peach skin. The palate is slender yet dense, fluid and compact, vivid with notions of red-cheeked apple, and again, just a touch of peach among the lemony, pithy concentration. The mid-palate has some heat, shows the site's power and seems to become riper and riper. It's like a thoroughbred, raring to go, barely containing its power, very streamlined, driven and straining at the leash. (Bone-dry) Drink 2025-2050.

  All the colors of the peach: yellow, white and red-fleshed! Fabulous succulence is married to a zesty freshness that creates an electric tension. Great concentration on the mid-palate, but the intensity only builds at the very long, energetic and wet stone finish. Doesn’t want to stop! Drink or hold.

  Tank sample. Limestone soils. Apparently the stones used to build the Kellers' home come from this vineyard. Klaus Peter Keller's grandfather sat the Sprengmeisterprüfung (a test that allows you to use explosives) so that he could source the rocks for building.
  Somehow 'darker' on the nose than the Kirchspiel. More earthy and spiced. Not as flirtatious, with a slight impression of smoky reduction, the herbal fumes of spontaneous fermentation that I did not sense on the Kirchspiel. Powerful, savoury, darker on the palate, too. Really savoury with a strong herbal aftertaste. Power and length but without the charm of Kirchspiel. Darker and more earthy. The same quality level as Kirchspiel but not as much to my personal taste. Drink 2026-2038.

  Keller's 2022 Riesling Westhofener Kirchspiel GG opens with a clear, elegant, dense and chalky nose with a ripe, intense fruit and notes reminiscent of iodine. Elegant, dense and chalky on the palate, with an intense, tightly woven and salty-savory finish, this is an excellent finessed Kirchspiel and very typical for its terroir. Drink 2026-2040.

  The 2022 Riesling Westhofener Kirchspiel Grosses Gewächs was harvested from vines planted in 1964. The nose is a cool, pure breeze of lemon balm and freshly cut, ripe lemon. The body is taut and tender, shimmering with ripe Mirabelle on the fluid, compact mid-palate. A fine phenolic web holds this together as the concentration seems to seep lemon-juice-like into the depth of cool limestone. This is driven and zesty, bone dry. The finish holds a shimmer of lemon and limestone with a frisson of seductive, riper stone fruit, very fine and elegant. (Bone-dry) Drink 2025-2050.

  A super-elegant, high-end, dry riesling with the combination of restrained ripeness and lively and subtle acidity that characterizes the best side of the 2022 vintage. The aromas at the front are very stone fruit-focused, but at the back it turns decisively in a citrusy direction and there the chalky minerality builds and builds. All this is deftly supported by fine tannins. Drink or hold.

  Tank sample. Vines aged 60 years.
  On the nose, the classic blossom notes as well as the stony minerality that I associate with Kirchspiel’s limestone soils. Lime and peach fruit add both richness and freshness to the mid palate. This has a corset of acidity that holds the fruit in a tight framework but more power than in some years. A little bit of spice. Immense concentration without loss of its unique fragrance and lightness of foot. Really long. Mouth-watering finish. A wonderful pairing of elegant scentedness with persistence and intensity. Drink 2025-2035.

  It would be no exaggeration to say Weingut Keller consistently produce the finest dry Rieslings in the world, a fact proven year after year since Klaus-Peter Keller took over the reins from his father in 2001. Along with his wife Julia, Klaus-Peter has continued to prioritise the quality of dry wine produced at the estate, and these are now some of the most sought after and collected wines on the planet.

  The Riesling Trocken is such a perfect foray into Keller wines as it is always treated with the same meticulous care as their top releases. While 85% of Keller holdings are classified as 'Grand Cru', only 15% of their wines are labelled as such meaning a lot of premium fruit goes into the other releases including this fantastic wine. Jancis Robinson MW famously stated “If I had to choose one wine to show how great dry German Riesling can be I would choose a Keller Riesling.”
