Vintage 2017

Germany/ Quality rather than quantity: 2017 has great potential!

The fascinating 2017 vintage is also one of a kind. The smallest volume here in our wi- nery since the excellent 1971. In many parcels, the Riesling yield barely exceeded 20 hl/ha. For the Pinot Noir, in some instances it was even less.
We are obviously sad because we already know that we don’t have enough wine in our cellar to satisty our customers. But from a quality perspe...

Written Notes

A thrillingly precise and classical Doctor — combining electric energy, deep slate minerality, and extraordinary finesse.


The 2017 Berncasteler Doctor GG opens with an intensely aromatic and finely etched bouquet: white peach, yellow apple, and ripe citrus, lifted by notes of lime blossom, chamomile, and crushed slate. Subtle hints of fresh herbs, fennel seed, and wet stone emerge with air, underscoring the vineyard’s legendary mineral signature.

On the palate, the wine is taut, crystalline, and beautifully layered, offering remarkable clarity and drive. Flavors of stone fruit, lemon zest, grapefruit pith, and green apple unfold with laser-like precision, framed by a vibrant core of saline slate minerality. The texture is firm yet polished, with a sense of inner density that never compromises the wine’s elegance.

The acidity is brilliant and perfectly integrated, providing lift, tension, and remarkable length. Despite its youthful intensity, the wine shows impeccable balance, with a subtle phenolic grip and a fine, chalky texture that adds structural depth.

As it evolves, delicate nuances of smoke, crushed herbs, white pepper, and flint surface, adding complexity and depth.

The finish is long, mouthwatering, and profoundly mineral, echoing with citrus, stone fruit, and the unmistakable saline imprint of the Doctor slope.

A superb Berncasteler Doctor GG — pure, precise, and classically proportioned, built for two to three decades of graceful evolution and a benchmark expression of this iconic Mosel vineyard.
