2024 Wiesbaden GG Preview: Mosel Riesling GG Part IV

Clemens Busch

Sep 13, 2024

Reflecting the difficulty of the vintage, as a group these may be the lowest scores I’ve given to Clemens Busch’s GG’s over the years. But that’s praise with faint damnation, as there are nevertheless very good wines here.

2023 (Pünderich) Marienberg Riesling GG

Spicy, mineral nose. Mineral, white peach skin mouth, light in weight, not as deep as some vintages but charming already. 92/A

2023 (Pûnderich) Marienberg Fahrlay Riesling GG

Peach minerality is more marked here in nose than in the Marienberg. Medium-light in weight but good concentration and intensity. Peach flavors. 91/A-

2023 (Pünderich) Marienberg Fahrlay Riesling GG Terrassen

Light in body but not dilute, good penetration, finesse, good for drinking now. White nectarine skin. 91/A-

2023 (Pünderich) Falkenlay Riesling GG

White peach aromas and flavors, maybe a little less precise than the previous. 90/B+

2023 (Pünderich) Rothenpfad Riesling GG

Light yellow peach in nose. Light on palate, not as intense as some of the foregoing, but charm here. 90/B+
