Egon Müller: King of The Mosel
|
|
|
One of the most beautiful labels in wine - and one of the finest rieslings inside
|

|
This week is a small parcel (only three cases) of a wine I've been itching to offer out to you.
|
Not much to update you on, so let's get to it!
|
In most wine regions, there’s always an argument to be had about who sits at the top.
|
In Champagne - is it Krug, Cristal, Salon, or Selosse? Bollinger (and its VVF cuvée) would like a word.
|
In Bordeaux? The First Growths? Pétrus and Le Pin have entered the chat.
|
Rinse and repeat almost anywhere in the world.
|
Here, there’s remarkably little debate. Egon Müller stands alone as the benchmark for the region and, for many, for German wine as a whole.

With apologies to Konstantin - the caption was more important than his facial expression here

|
That reputation, combined with meticulous work in the vineyard and tiny production, means these wines are pre-sold every year to a small circle of importers and private clients. When bottles do surface on top restaurant lists, they tend to be eye-wateringly expensive.
|
Which is why this small parcel has me so fired up.
|
A few weeks ago, I secured just 18 bottles of Müller Kabinett from a European supplier. Today, I’m offering three cases at the best price in the world.
|
And it gets more interesting.
|
This is the 2024 vintage. A year defined by spring frost, relentless mildew pressure, and dramatically reduced yields across the Mosel. According to VomBoden.com, Müller lost nearly 85% of their crop, calling it their most challenging vintage since 1986.
|
In a region already defined by scarcity, this is extreme.
|
Put simply - there isn’t much of this juice to go around.
|
To secure Müller of this quality, from a vintage this rare, at under £100 per bottle in bond, is exceptional.
|
|
I don’t expect to be able to source this again, so if you want in, I’d move quickly.
