When Sebastian Fürst took over the winery in Franconia from his father Paul, he found the ideal conditions for producing fine Pinot Noir: high-quality Burgundy clones in the vineyard, a warmer climate that allows the grapes to ripen fully for whole-cluster fermentation, and a modern winery constructed from concrete and wood. The Bürgstadter Berg includes the renowned vineyards of Centgrafenberg and Hundsrück – also the source of the grapes for this Erste Lage (‘premier cru’) wine. The wine is effectively, so to speak, a small Grosses Gewächs (‘grand cru’): correspondingly complex and elegant. Caro Maurer MW: Notes of coffee, dark berries and black cherries; young and primary. A modern, complex style with an emphasis on extraction, but it still lacks inner calm; that will come with time. Mark Dearing: A spectrum of fruits and flowers, precise and elegant, succulent and open. High quality, drinking well now with a fine tannic structure; delicacy with persistence. Stefan Neumann MS: Open, fruit-forward style. A well-knit mid-palate with a layer of fresh red florals and subtle spicy undertone. A beautiful, fuss-free style.
