The 2022 Riesling Kabinett Jean Baptiste is almost entirely from the Pettenthal but was fermented in several bins according to the different plots. Pure and flinty on the finely intense nose, the wine is light, lush and savory on the palate, vibrantly fresh and saline, with fine mineral grip and a remarkably characterful finish. 10.5% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted at the domaine in October 2023.

Predominantly from the Pettenthal, the 2021 Riesling Kabinett Jean Baptiste is based on about 20 different vats and offers a coolish, clear and precise bouquet of beautifully ripe and finely concentrated fruit with raisin and pink grapefruit aromas when aerated. On the palate, this is a round, lush and savory, persistently saline and crystalline Kabinett in the classic style. Fabulous. 10% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted at the domaine in August 2022.
