95 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "A great dry pinot blanc with a very striking nose of persimmon, fresh hazelnuts and herbs. Although this has 13.5% alcohol, it feels almost weightless, so vibrant and delicate are the flavors. Where else can you find that? Then comes the long, super-clean finish that pulls you back to the glass for more! Drink or hold. (9/23/21)"
92+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The premier cru bottling of Herrenletten Weissburgunder is a bit riper than the Haardt cuvée in this vintage, coming in at 13.5 percent alcohol and carrying just a touch more residual sweetness at 3.5 grams per liter. The soils here are clay and sandstone, with a vein of chalk running through them. The wine delivers a deep and nascently complex aromatic constellation of pineapple, nectarine, a hint of banana, wet stone minerality and a beautiful array of tropical floral tones. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with zesty acids, excellent focus and grip, a superb core and a long, complex and vibrant finish. This is a truly exceptional example of Weissburgunder and a step up from the very good Haardt bottling. 2021-2040+. (Jan/Feb 2022)"
