Clemens Busch - Truly Stunning Riesling

by Hugh French | Nov 16, 2021

 

Clemens Busch

"Rita and Clemens Busch are long establishing the organic domain among the finest Riesling producers in all of Germany... The wines are authentic, expressive and have an inimitable identity..."
Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate

 

 

"The estate is unique among its middle-Mosel peers as it produces around 80-90% dry wines, although many are now following Clemens’ lead. The traditional production methods are thoughtfully adjusted according to the vintage and include late harvesting, maceration before pressing, long slow natural ferments and extended lees aging in ancient 1000l fuders (the youngest of which is around 60 years old!).

Clemens’s Rieslings are one of the greatest expressions of soil transfer (terroir) available today, the perfect combination of exceptional site, old vines and meticulous bio-dynamic farming."

2020 Riesling Pundericher Kabinett
Usually $59 - Special Offer $55

"Fresh herbal fragrance of spontaneous fermentation, accompanied by the daintiest floral notion of lily of the valley. Fairly compact as Kabinetts go, sweet grapefruit with a stony mineral edge, quite tactile, long-lingering aftertasteindicates great extract."
17/20 Points

2019 Riesling Pundericher 'Vom Roten Schiefer' Trocken
Usually $85 - Special Offer $75

"Bottled in early September, the Pündericher 2019 Riesling Vom Roten Schiefer opens with a very elegant and aromatic bouquet of ripe stone fruits (mirabelles) that are perfectly intertwined with the crystalline and crunchy expression of red, iron-rich slate. Juicy, piquant and very salty on the palate, this is a pure and fresh yet intense, structured and crystalline Riesling with a charming finish, remarkable terroir expression and just 11.5% alcohol. Tasted at the domain in September 2020."

2019 Riesling Pundericher 'Vom Blauen Schiefer' Trocken
Usually $105 - Special Offer $95

 

"The 2019 Riesling Vom Blauen Schiefer is pure, fine and crunchy on the aromatic yet slate-driven and elegant nose. Round and lush on the palate, this is a fine, intense and concentrated dry Riesling with a complex and powerful finish. It comes from old vines that are the source for the Fairly GG as well. Tasted in September 2020, just a day after the bottling."

2019 Riesling Marienburg Rothenpfad GG
Usually $140 - Special Offer $130

"From 80- to 85+-year-old vines on red slate, the 2019 Marienburg GG Rothenpfad is pure, very fine and flinty on the crystalline and concentrated yet pure, complex and still reductive nose. Silky, round and very elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, crystalline, juicy, persistently salty and structured Rothenpfad with great elegance, intensity, warmth and balance. Impressive—and surely exceptional with fresh porcini. Tasted at the domain in September 2020."

2019 Riesling Marienburg Fahrlay GG
Usually $155 - Special Offer $145

"The 2019 Marienburg GG Fahrlay is perfectly ripe and concentrated on the densely aromatic nose that intertwines ripe, intense and flinty fruit with fascinating notes of crushed stones and herbs, yet everything is already marvelously interwoven and balanced as well as pure, precise and crystalline, with lemon zest notes. Full-bodied, intense and crystalline on the palate, this is a rich, concentrated, perfectly ripe and aromatic Fahrlay with a long, intense, elegant, crystalline and persistently salty finish. This would be rich and bolder if there were no old vines in blue slate. This is an impressive wine that was bottled just a few days before I tasted it in September 2020."

2019 Riesling Marienburg Falkenlay GG
Usually $155- Special Offer $145

"The 2019 Marienburg GG Falkenlay is rich and intense yet fine and very elegant on the delicate and subtle nose that is reminiscent of bacon-wrapped figs and concentrated, super ripe, if not overripe Riesling berries. Full-bodied and rich on the palate, this is a powerful yet elegant and even refined Falkenlay with a quite baroque expression this year."
