Müller-Catoir Weissburgunder Haardt Trocken 2020

93 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Cool yet effusive nose of garden peas and a wide range of white fruit, with the emphasis on pear. Only medium-bodied with spot-on balance of ripeness and elegance. The same level of balance at the long, silky finish. Drink or hold. (9/23/21)"

90 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "Though the 2020 villages level bottling of Haardt Weissburgunder from Müller-Catoir includes some younger vines in its blend, the range here is from ten to forty-three years of age, so this is not a young vine cuvée by any stretch of the imagination. The wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel and comes in at 12.5 percent octane this year, with residual sugar of 2.7 grams per liter. The wine offers up a pretty nose of peach, apple, a touch of orange peel, a fine base of soil, white flowers and just a wisp of savory notes in the upper register that suggest wild fennel. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and youthfully complex, with a fine core, excellent soil signature and cut, lovely balance and a long, serious finish. This is a fine bottle of pinot blanc! 2021-2035+. (Jan/Feb 2020)"
