With the acceleration of global warming, the Pfalz has now become one of the planet's great appellations for ripe, expressive and top class Pinot Noir. Fortunately, the great old firm of Koehler-Ruprecht has been turning out sensational Pinot Noir for generations, and has mastered this grape in a way few outside Burgundy have managed to do. Their 2021 expresses the refinement of the cool, classic "throwback" 2021 vintage and is a rarity that should be snapped up by Pinot Noir lovers who appreciate detail and subtlety. Perhaps our best recommendation for this wine is that a couple of our hardcore Burgundy collectors lay this in right next to their beloved crus. Sustainable farming.
