€ 18,90 INC. VAT As with a number of Müllen Wines, the aromatics and flavors here are quite distinctive and unusual, but also satisfying. Purple plum, mango, mirabelle, golden beet, moss and wet stone serve for a pronounced sense of ripeness allied to subtle earthiness and herbacity. The feel is creamy, which enhances the soothing impression delivered on a lingering finish kissed by wet stone and wood smoke.Add to cart

€ 22,00 INC. VAT This is a stunning Moselle Spätlese! Not because it is lush, but because this masterpiece of vitality shimmers like a great diamond. Fantastic balance of juiciness and wet-stone-freshness in the dangerously expressive finish. 96 pts Add to cart

The 2021 Riesling Alte Reben White Capsule is made from vines with a minimum age of 60 - 90 years and some centenarians. This is a blend of old vine parcels across the Middle Mosel. Here, just a little shake of the glass unleashes a whole chorus of bright citrus. Lime and lemon but also aromatic tangerine dance first on the nose, then on the palate. Zestiness is the name of the game on a slender, dry body that reverberates with citrus aromas. A real bargain full of flavor and depth. (Bone-dry)

Ripe apple and pear are accompanied on the nose by a greenhouse-like evocation of flowers and foliage that’s highly characteristic of Molitor 2018s. The midpalate is buoyant, caressingly creamy and lusciously fruity. Seed piquancy lends a welcome, stimulating modicum of counterpoint on a generously juicy, stone-kissing finish.

Heady, decadent perfume of lily, heliotrope and honeysuckle liquefy on a buoyant, polished palate that, thanks to an onrush of juicy fresh apple and grapefruit, exhibits more cut and freshness, albeit less flattering creaminess on the palate than does the corresponding Wehlener. This wine’s sense of vintage-typical richness is conveyed on the impressively sustained finish largely by floral perfume, while the fruit flavors continue to project surprising freshness.

€ 29,00 INC. VAT Sweet with balanced acidity, fruit and minerality. Our vineyard in the Kröver Kirchlay with southern orientation has beautiful clay- and slate-rich soils. It is located about 140m above sea level and - although it was only created in 2008 - produces great noble sweet wines. They inspire with an exciting, enlively vivacity and liveliness. The well-weathered slate soils give the wines depth, fruitiness and something exhilarated lightness. Kirchlay wines are therefore very characterised and exciting. Add to cart

€ 30,00 INC. VAT The Zeltinger Schlossberg is the slope adjacent to the Zeltinger sundial. So top of the top. It is the steepest section of this slope from which the wine is obtained, over 80 years old root-true vines in single stake education with the most extreme orientation. Unlike the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr, the Schlossberg is more clearly at home in the slate. The nose is clearly dominated by flint, wet slate. Stone, minerality and salt in the foreground. The whole thing is underpinned by a flower meadow, mirabelle, light reneklode, also a bit of quince, a touch of orange peel and lime underneath. More to the mineral than to the citrus fruit. Molitor loves the elegance, loves the minerality far more than the extreme fruit drive. Flint and wet granite to it, slate in the most massive form, with fine quince and stone fruit rolling up again.

From the uppermost of Hühnerberg’s three broad terraces, this one-star Spätlese leads delightfully with ripe white peach and mirabelle garlanded in diverse flowers, including the orange blossoms that Müllen considers typical of wines from that terrace. The delicate, tender, polished midpalate adds a hint of raw almond, leading to a lusciously lingering finish admirably transparent to shimmering wet stone as well as mouthwateringly mingled with mineral salts. Here’s one Müllen 2018 that I don’t have any worries about recommending for extended cellaring. Amusingly, he says it is one of several wines that he wanted to go dry – but I’m happy that it had other ideas. The situation was actually unusual, as Müllen related: “By late February or early March it seemed that this just didn’t want to ferment any further. But I thought, maybe if I just give it some time… So it lay nearly five months on the lees, naturally without SO2, but it never budged. And when I detected a slight hint of oxidation in the wine as sampled from the top of the cask, I knew which way its full contents were headed and that it was time to bottle.” Why award this wine just a single star? I can only conclude that Müllen doesn’t quite share my high opinion of it.

€ 39,00 INC. VAT The Auslesen are obtained from ripe, golden yellow and from rusty grapes. Here there is a natural concentration of all flavours. Auslese often taste like dried fruits such as dates, figs or raisins, but also like dried peach and apricot. Mostly Auslesen are sweet wines. Only in rare cases do we offer dry and delicate selection.Add to cart

Overripe pear and lychee on the nose take on a syrupy impression on the polished, soft, subtly creamy and delicate palate. The finish accentuates the impressions of vanilla and liquid lily perfume that were already noted in this year’s "two-star" Hühnerberg Spätlese. And here, too, there is enough juiciness that the caressingly sustained, lush finish doesn’t become cloying. Müllen would certainly take issue with my assessment of ageworthiness, but while it’s going to take a long time for this wine’s superficial sweetness to back off, I am not convinced that the wait will pay significant dividends in complexity. Müllen is currently much enamored with the evolution of his vintage 2003 Spätlesen and Auslesen, with their softness of feel, prominent sweetness and confectionary, caramel-tinged character. Oenophiles who share his high opinion of those traits in Mosel Riesling may well feel rewarded by patient cellaring of a 2018 like this one. (Yet-riper sweet wines from the Hühnerberg – along with other nobly sweet wines from Müllen’s vintage 2018 collection – will be tasted in late 2020 and reviewed as part of a subsequent report.)

Honeysuckle and heliotrope on the nose deliver site-typical allure. The palate feels surprisingly firm, though it exudes generously juicy apple. Piquancy of apple seed and the bitter aspect of vanilla bean serve for welcome counterpoint on a lusciously fruited finish admirably transparent to wet stone. I suspect that this installment of “Fuder #6” will grow in stature given a few years in bottle.

This marries fruit from the uppermost of Müllen’s four terraces in Hühnerberg with fruit from below the terraced section (the same steep sector that yielded this year’s impressive “no star” Spätlese trocken). Pineapple, white peach and mint mingle on the nose with site-typical suggestions of woodsmoke. The silken palate is at once soothingly cooling and tinglingly invigorating, with sweetness supportively judged without trying to become a dominant player in its own right. Hints of quince and caramel point to advanced ripeness (with a trace of botrytis) and are gorgeously complemented by the wine’s textural richness and subtle sweetness on a lusciously lingering finish. The balance of richness with fresh fruit juiciness and the impeccable balance of sweetness are features I have generally missed in residually sweet Müllen bottlings of past vintages. (Whether or not this wine’s vineyard origins or the fact that it is the collection’s sole sweet Hühnerberg Spätlese account for its being labeled without stars, don’t let that mislead you – even if Müllen encourages this – to anticipate less than top quality.)

€ 43,00 INC. VAT Kröver Letterlay is a very typical Moselle layer with outstanding quality. The location is partly oriented to the south, partly to the southeast. The wines are characterised by great harmony and full-bodiedness. Usually the wines of the Letterlay are a bit more delicate in acidity than the wines from our other locations.Add to cart

Ripe pear and lime wreathed in buddleia and lily-of-the-valley make for an alluring nose and then lusciously inform a seductively creamy, delicate palate. Smoky black tea and incisive fresh ginger lend invigoration to a finish that sensationally extends the wine’s intense pure fruit, along with a liquefaction of its floral perfume. Why no stars? Apparently Müllen thought this wine was beyond all that. He was right.

€ 50,00 INC. VAT Not for the first time, Müllen views a "two-star" Hühnerberg Spätlese – this one issuing from two broad upper terraces and the site’s oldest vines (likely ones recorded as having been planted by Langguth in 1898) – as superior to the corresponding Hühnerberg Auslese trocken. (In fact, he’s asking nearly twice the price.) Sometimes the difference in Prädikat reflects a distinct difference in character, but in the present instance, Müllen had to bottle as “Auslese” a batch that slightly exceeded the legal limit for free SO2 in white wines of Prädikat Spätlese. As is also often the case, Müllen’s dry “two-star” Hühnerberg was the last wine of its vintage to get bottled. A fascinating nose offers chamomile, iris, ginseng and peach kernel, anticipating the subtly musky, piquant, hard-to-capture elements that join luscious flesh of white peach on a glossy and expansive palate. The influence of over 12,5% alcohol is felt in terms of body but fortunately not heat. The correspondingly complex finish features a decisive undertone of wet stone, and grips with remarkable persistence, its piquant elements well integrated. 93 pts Add to cart

As usual, Molitor’s exclusively small-barrel-raised “three-star” Pinot Blanc introduces some overt notes of oak on the nose and slight stiffening and drying to this variety’s usual engaging combination of textural creaminess with refreshment. But it still harbors plenty of interest. Musky suggestions of narcissus mingle with scents of corn shoots, lime peel and bruised apple skin. Fuller than its two ostensibly lesser counterparts but by no means heavy, this offers a cooling midpalate suggestion of mint-laced apple and lime sorbet, leading to a lingering if slightly woody finish enhanced by saliva-inducing salinity.

Pale golden yellow with a greenish tinge. Rich, smoky aromas of yellow plum, quince and sweet herbs. Unctuous apricot fruit given shape by bright, salty minerality. Juicy, generous and crisp on the persistent finish. At once rich and vibrant, this is one of the finest off-dry rieslings.

€ 70,00 INC. VATEven the fragrance seduces with fully ripe apricots, nectarine, melon and other exotic fruits. On the palate, the selection does not look too sweet. Here, too, ripe stone fruit, pineapple and a number of exotic aromas are shown. Typically Molitor, the selection shows a playful acidity, which is in an elegant harmony with the sweetness. With a powerful finish and a long aftertaste, it remains tasty for a long time.Add to cart

Golden yellow. Rich bouquet of baked apple, vanilla custard and clove, with a complicating note of spicy botrytis. Creamy but refined tropical fruits are complemented by refreshing salts and toasted pine nuts. At once succulent and full, finishing with reverberating length but not quite the same degree of elegance as the finest auslese.

€ 111,00 INC. VAT The 2021 Suduiraut emerges from a brutal vintage in which yields were just one hectoliter-per-hectare, which translates into 500 cases. A rich, exotic Sauternes, the 2021 possesses mind-blowing intensity. Tangerine oil, mint, pineapple, white flowers, caramel and light toast notes soar out of the glass. Even with all of its concentration, this maintains tremendous freshness and tension. What a wine.Antonio Galloni. Tasting date: December 2023 99 pts© 2025 Vinous Media
