Omschrijving
De wijnen van Egon Müller zijn wereldwijd een begrip. De legendarische reputatie van dit wijngoed is vooral gebaseerd op zijn edelzoete wijnen. Deze bezitten een ongekend bewaarpotentieel en overtreffen menig rode wijn. Legendarische wijnen met wereldfaam, zijn die uit: 1997 en 1999. De wijnen van Egon Müller-Scharzhof zijn zo gewild dat deze jaarlijks op de wijnveiling in Trier recordprijzen opbrengen en de rating van Parker en Suckling liggen vaak heel dicht tegen de maximale 100-punten grens aan.
Het totale wijngaardbezit omvat 8 hectare, waarvan 7 hectare bezittingen in Scharzhof. De beroemde wijngaard, Wiltinger Braune Kupp is geheel in handen van Egon Müller. De hiervan afkomstige wijnen dragen de naam `Le Gallais.`
Vanaf 2000 vond er een wisseling van de wacht plaats. Stefan Fabian nam het roer als keldermeester over van Horst Frank. Het wijnmaken op Scharzhof is erg traditioneel en minimalistisch, d.w.z. dat de kwaliteit voor 100% ontstaat in de wijngaard. In de kelder wordt er dan ook minimaal ingegrepen, zodat het terroir tot volle expressie kan komen. De filosofie van Egon Müller is nog altijd een klinkende waarheid: de kwaliteit ontstaat in de wijngaard en waardoor de fijnste wijnen worden gecreëerd.
De Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Spätlese 2020 is briljant, super nauwkeurig met alles iun balans. In de neus is deze top Riesling kruidig met heldere, elegante, diepe en terroir-typische neus met mango- en papaja-aroma's. In de mond aroma's van tropisch fruit en is de wijn sappig en elegant met een verfijnde en naadloze smaak leiden tot een zout-pikante, verrukkelijke en stimulerende afdronk met grote finesse en precisie. Dit is Scharzhofberger op zijn best en een Spätlese die bijna perfect is! Dit is een magnum van 1.5 liter. Nog lekkerder en met een langer drinkvenster.
Suckling schrijft over de Egon Müller Scharzhof Scharzhofberger Spätlese "Where in the world can you find floral honey that's this fine? The fragrance of this is a masterpiece of elegance"

August 2020 Week 2, The Wine Advocate
The 2019 Scharzhofberger Spätlese is brilliant, digitally precise and spicy on the clear, elegant, deep and terroir-typical nose with mango and papaya aromas. Tropical fruit aromas on the juicy, elegant, refined and seamless palate lead to a salty-piquant, mouth-watering and stimulating finish with great finesse and precision. This is Scharzhofberger at its very best and a Spätlese close to perfection! Tasted in April 2020.
2019 was also a very dry year in the Saar until one week before the start of the harvest. Then came the rain, which accompanied the harvest—between the end of September and mid-October. This meant that “the harvest began earlier and was finished sooner than initially thought," Egon Müller explained to me over the phone. "The pressure was high at the end and every single grape was especially valuable, so we decided to bring everything in."
So, at the very beginning of the harvest, there was a TBA, "not from bad parents," Müller added. Toward the end of the harvest, an Auslese gold capsule was selected. But otherwise the yield is low. After 50 hectoliters per hectare in 2018 (the most generous since 1986 and perhaps 1991), the average yield in 2019 is only 20 hectoliters per hectare. "You slowly get used to it," Müller joked. But he is very pleased with the wines themselves. "They are already a dangerous drinking pleasure."
Although the fun part is one of those things. It's expensive fun! The prices of the wines were raised by 20% to 25%, and the regular Kabinett was even 50% more expensive compared to 2018.
The qualities of the 2019s are really outstanding, though, and will find their buyers without any problems. "The botrytis came early, and we could pick it fresh. Since we had already finished the harvest on October 18th, it couldn't have gone bad."
Accordingly, botrytis cinerea plays a role in all wines from Spätlese on. Only the estate wine and Kabinett Alte Reben are largely free of botrytis. Apart from the TBA and its "negative" selection, which is still outstanding as an Auslese, and the two Kabinett-Rieslings, there are only two Spätlese Rieslings from the Scharzhofberger, one of which has a golden capsule. I didn't even like it better than the regular one in 2019, because even the regular one is incredibly precise and full of tension.
The Scharzhof Riesling assembles grapes from the Scharzhofberg and the Wiltinger Braune Kupp, which also produced excellent wines in 2019 under the name Le Gallais, but in equally small quantities. Those who do not want to do without almost supernatural quality in the 2019s, yet want to spend less on it, can buy the wines from the Braune Kupp this year. The Spätlese wines are outstanding, as is the Auslese, and the Kabinett is also "not from bad parents."
Egon Müller’s 2018 Scharzhofberger TBA #12 has become a perfect TBA. So, 100 points for the 2018 Scharzhofberger TBA #12 but zero points for the 2018 Scharzhofberger Grosses Gewächs, which did not receive the mercy of Egon Müller in the end and disappeared into oblivion, and thus, I unfortunately never had it on my palate...

From: Saar Riesling 2019-2020: Selective Excellence (May 2022)
The auctioned 2020 Riesling Scharzhofberger Spätlese A.P. #8 reflects relatively late harvest but, as with its “regular” (A.P. #6) counterpart, botrytis influence is only slight. The overall impression is remarkably ethereal and delicate. Apple, quince and pear are garlanded in hyacinth, heliotrope and honeysuckle on both the haunting nose and the floating, subtly creamy, billowingly perfumed palate. Hints of vanilla cream and dried fig coexist with juicy fresh fruit. Very subtle seed piquancy is ideally placed to serve for stimulating counterpoint, while an influx of salinity serves to activate the salivary glands on a finish that doesn’t want to end or to come down to earth. Here one witnesses how prodigious length and abundance of flavors are entirely compatible with a sense of restraint and understatement. This wine doesn’t need to raise its voice to make the point that it reflects grand cru material and utmost refinement of workmanship.
- By David Schildknecht on November 2021
Harvest in 2020 began here only on September 20 – one week before the arrival of rain – but that represents an early commencement date for this estate. The fruit during that first week was deemed ideal for Kabinett, as indeed the finished results testify. The rain made for a stop-and-go subsequent harvest, and also triggered botrytis, but none of it dried sufficiently until mid-November for Müller to finally feel confident in selecting for an Auslese, which was designated “Goldkapsel” and sold at auction. “Certainly, it was a warm vintage when one considers summer temperatures,” noted Müller’s commercial director Veronika Lintner, with whom I tasted, “but average temperatures through the whole growing season were much lower than in 2019 or in 2018, and one can certainly sense that in animation and a cooling cast to the wines.” That very much applies to the Spätlesen even though these also exhibit very ripe fruit flavors and subtle botrytis influence. Thanks to an absence of spring frost, a good set, little of the sunburn that had been experienced in 2019, and scant botrytis, 2020 recorded a relatively large crop by estate standards.
The May 2019 frost reached into even upper sections of the Scharzhofberg, and summer sunburn took a further bite out of yield that nature had already predetermined would be small. And that was before a harvest that demanded selectivity, which at this address is notoriously scrupulous. Picking did not begin until September 30, so Auslese was already being selected even as the fruit for Kabinett was brought in. A second wave of rain and botrytis was accompanied by gradual diminution of acidity, leading to an intensely active second week of October and an October 18 completion date. A tiny amount of TBA was rendered, but no BA or Goldkapsel Auslese. Cellarmaster Heiner Bollig (about whose arrival I wrote in the introduction to my report on Egon Müller’s 2018s) essentially debuted in 2019 and was, one presumes, also behind the decision to attempt Grosse Gewächse (about which I also wrote in my last report). Veronika Lintner confirmed on the occasion of my November 2021 visit that release of a 2019 Grosses Gewächs is indeed planned – which would be the first dry wine from this estate in several decades – but that it’s been decided to give it another year or two in the bottle first. Speaking of future releases, Müller plans to continue his justly attention-getting series of auctioned Kabinett Alte Reben bottlings, but there will never again be more than one bottling meriting that designation or one fuder’s worth – and quite possibly less. For several years, the estate’s remaining share of ungrafted vines has displayed visible signs of phylloxera incursion, and after 2020, a significant share of those that informed the Alte Reben bottlings were ripped out and replaced. In addition to the aforementioned, as yet unreleased TBA and Grosses Gewächs, there are ten vintage 2019 bottlings, of which I was able to taste four, the others being the generic Scharzhof, a Braune Kupp Auslese, and pairs of “regular” Kabinett and Spätlese. (For much more about Müller’s Scharzhof and its Le Gallais sister – whose bottlings are treated by the Vinous database as a subset of Egon Müller Scharzhof – consult the introductions to my accounts of their 2014–2018 collections.)

Egon Müller is een Duitse wijnproducent die bekend staat om het produceren van de beste Riesling's ter wereld. Het landgoed, officieel bekend als Weingut Egon Müller, ligt in het Saardal in de wijnstreek Moezel in Duitsland.
Geschiedenis van Egon Müller
Het wijndomein Egon Müller heeft een lange en legendarische geschiedenis die teruggaat tot het einde van de 18e eeuw. De familie Müller is al generaties lang betrokken bij de wijnbereiding. Egon Müller staat vooral bekend om zijn productie van Riesling, een druivensoort die gedijt in het koele klimaat en de steile wijngaarden van de Moezelstreek. Het landgoed bezit en beheert enkele van de meest begeerde wijngaarden in de Saarvallei, waaronder de wijngaard Scharzhofberg. De Scharzhofberg is een van de beroemdste en meest gewaardeerde wijngaarden van Duitsland, bekend om zijn unieke microklimaat en ideale terroir voor Riesling.
Traditionele wijnbereiding
Egon Müller houdt zich aan traditionele wijnbereidingspraktijken. Ze richten zich op het maken van wijn met weinig interventie, het met de hand oogsten en het zacht persen van de druiven. Het wijnbereidingsproces benadrukt het behoud van de natuurlijke smaken en kenmerken van de Riesling. De Riesling-wijnen van Egon Müller worden gevierd vanwege hun zuiverheid, elegantie en een aparte expressie van terroir. De wijnen worden vaak gekenmerkt door levendige zuurgraad, intense fruitsmaken en een opmerkelijk rijpingspotentieel. Egon Müller produceert Rieslings in verschillende stijlen, waaronder Trocken (droog) en Feinherb (droog). Deze diversiteit komt tegemoet aan verschillende smaken en voorkeuren.
Scharzhof
De volledige naam van Egon Müller is Egon Müller-Scharzhof, wat verwijst naar de beroemde Scharzhofberg-wijngaard. Deze wijngaard vormt de kern van de reputatie van het landgoed en is waar veel van hun iconische Rieslings vandaan komen.
De toewijding van Egon Müller aan het produceren van uitzonderlijke Riesling-wijnen en hun beheer over de opmerkelijke Scharzhofberg-wijngaard hebben hun positie als een van 's werelds meest vooraanstaande Riesling-producenten verstevigd. Hun wijnen worden gevierd vanwege hun unieke karakter en het vermogen om gracieus te verouderen, waardoor ze een punt van trots zijn voor Duitse wijnliefhebbers.
