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 Riesling Scharzhof heeft een lichte strogele kleur met een beetje groene zweem. Parker beschrijft het mooi in zijn beoordeling en vindt het alsof "een lente-bergrivier vol Riesling over gebroken/stukken leisteen stroomt" Het is zeer delicaat maar weelderig en sexy, met grote precisie, goede zuurgraad en aanhoudend ziltigheid en mineraliteit en eindigt met precies de juiste hoeveelheid restsuiker. Indrukwekkend lang en gespannen met een stimulerende afdronk. Volgens Parker is dit misschien wel de meest fascinerende Scharzhof die hij in de laatste 20 jaar heeft geproefd.

Egon Müller's excellent 2023 Scharzhof Riesling blends the fruit from three different sites, where the Saarburg Rausch plays the dominant part followed by the Witlinger Braunfels and the Rosenberg, both neighboring the famous Scharzhofberg. The bright colored wine opens with a ripe yet elegant and delicate Saar Riesling aroma with its fine and spicy slate notes. Round, juicy and actually ample on the palate, this is a savory and persistently saline Saar Riesling that becomes lean and focused on the finish. It is exuberant, long and complex as well as balanced and frisky. Tasted at the domaine in April and August 2024.
The growing season began with dry, hot weather in 2023, and it stayed that way until mid-July. “Everything looked like a repeat of the 2022 vintage,” said Egon Müller after tasting his 2023 Scharzhofberg and Wiltinger Braune Kupp. “The season was practically over; all we had to do was wait for the grapes to ripen. But then, after two cold nights, it started raining, and we actually rarely have powdery mildew. From mid-July to the end of August, we had a total of around 200 liters of rain, considerably more than the long-term average. Fortunately, we had glorious weather from September onward. Around August 20, we were still expecting an October harvest, but then it started right after the auction at the end of September, with Trockenbeerenauslese. September remained beautiful and we were able to do whatever we wanted at our leisure.” There was no pressure anywhere. On October 10, the 2023 vintage was already in the cellar. “On October 13, it started raining again and didn't stop until the end of February. Thank God, because we all needed this precipitation; the last few years were very dry...”
Egon Müller sent his offers as early as January; although three wines from the vintage were not yet ready even during my first visit at the end of April, and one could not be tasted due to the quantity being too small. An auction Auslese was made of the Wiltinger Braune Kupp, with a reservation made for each filled bottle, otherwise the minimum quantity would not have been reached. The 2023 Trockenbeerenauslese from the Scharzhofberg was still struggling to reach the minimum alcohol level; and Egon Müller had not released the dry Scharzhofberger, which he has been trying to make since the 2018 vintage, as he had not released any of the previous vintages. “But it looks good, maybe even very good,” said Müller. It would be the first dry Scharzhofberger since the 1980s. At the time, they had not been very well received. So, if there is going to be a dry Scharzhofberger again, it will have to be a superb one. After all, Egon Müller had seen no reason to make a dry Scharzhofberger for almost three decades, as he had no criticism of the residual-sweet Prädikats and, on top of that, was of the opinion that they expressed the talents of the Scharzhofberg better than any dry wine, which, at the Scharzhof, could also be a Prädikat wine or a natural wine, even if it were to be sold without a Prädikat. Like more than a few members of the VDP, Müller still embraces the founding idea of the VDP and its predecessor, the natural wine auctioneers. So, there is hardly any chance of a chaptalized Scharzhofberger from Egon Müller's Scharzhof. Let's stay tuned.
Otherwise, the 2023s from the Scharzhofberg, like the Rieslings from the Wiltinger Braune Kupp (see the wines from this site under the entry Egon Müller - Le Gallais), are of exquisite quality and unique finesse. Rarely before have the Kupp wines been so beguiling; they are becoming ever more full-bodied but now also fabulously rich in finesse. Since they cost significantly less than the Scharzhofberger, fans of Egon Müller's art of handcrafting wine should consider buying these wines. The fact that they are somewhat more accessible than the Scharzhofberger, which always develops late, should not count against them in this case.
A few hours before my visit on April 22, a late spring frost caused dramatic losses in the Saar and Ruwer, including at Egon Müller. In August, during another visit to the domaine, he estimated the loss to be around 90%. So, anyone who wants to buy Egon Müller next year will not only need a lot of money but also a lot of luck. Instead of only bringing his 2023 auction wines to the auction in Trier, Müller might also offer aged Scharzhofberger and Wiltinger, of which the treasure trove has quite a few. Otherwise, all hopes are now pinned on the 2025 vintage, the 35th from Egon Müller IV.

August 2020 Week 2, The Wine Advocate
The bright colored 2019 Riesling Scharzhof displays very fine Saar typicity on the nose. This is like a spring mountain river full of Riesling rolling over crushed slate. It is highly delicate but lush and sexy, with great precision, crystalline acidity and lingering salinity, finishing with just the right amount of residual sugar. Impressively long and tensioned on the pure and stimulating finish, this is just gorgeous and possibly the most fascinating Scharzhof I have tasted in 20 years. The times of calling this is a Best Buy are long gone, but if you ant to taste the DRC of Riesling, you should definitely try it. 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...

Lively and subtle nose of ripe yellow apple, white peach and wild flowers. Juicy and elegant with a vibrant acidity that lights this up beautifully. A touch of perceptible grape sweetness at the front of the medium-bodied palate, but the long, wet stone finish is admirably dry. Spot on balance. Drink or hold.

Rippling with peach, melon, ripe citrus and white flower aromas, this is that rare beast: a stunning, off-dry, entry-level wine. The scintillating acidity makes it nip nimbly across the barely medium-bodied palate. Wonderfully long, elegant finish with a tingling spritz of natural carbon dioxide that helps it end much drier than it began. Drink or hold.

From: 2022 Mosel-Saar-Ruwer: Old Vines and Steep Challenges (Oct 2023)
The 2022 Riesling Scharzhof was harvested in Saarburg, Wiltingen and Oberemmel and fermented spontaneously, half in stainless steel, half in Fuder. The nose has subtle yeast notes but comes across as very fresh, with hints of green apple and lemon and a slightly flinty flicker. The palate is exquisitely light and gently sweet. Herbal notions like yarrow and tansy join in with the lemon and the juicy, tart apple fruit. Much length with this weightlessness. (Off-dry)

What can one say about Egon Müller and his legendary estate on the Scharzhofberg? He is the fourth Egon in a line of Müllers that can trace their family ownership of this estate to 1797 when forebear Jean-Jacques – or Johann Jakob – Koch purchased the estate after Napoleon secularized all church property. Until then, it was in monastic hands belonging to the Benedictine convent of St. Maria ad Martyres in Trier, founded in 700; it is unclear when the Scharzhofberg was donated to the monastery. Its name is thought to derive from the Latin _ sarcire, to clear land, and there is evidence that even until the 18th century, parts of the slope were used to grow _Lohhecken, or coppiced oak whose bark was used for tanning leather. And while the vineyard on this singular hill is no longer a monopole (Koch had several children who divided the inheritance; one of them married Felix Müller, the ancestor of the current incumbent), its fame is down to the Müller family to Egon Müller I in particular who took his Riesling international exhibitions like the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900. Müller owns more than eight hectares of the Scharzhofberg plus further vineyards in Saarburg, Wiltingen, Oberemmel, and notably in Wiltingen’s Braune Kupp, which carries the Le Gallais label, half of this still belongs to the Le Gallais family. Still, the wines are made in Müller’s cellar, and the German authorities see the two names as one estate. These long-lived wines are always on light feet, delicate and aromatic, expressing the marginality of the Saar with great elegance. They rightly have cult status. In Egon Müller, they have a guardian unmoved by-passing fashions and prevailing opinions. In 2022, harvest started on 17 September, noted Müller, and said there was heavy rain on 2/3 October, which put the pressure on. “We had to gather speed and were finished on 7 October,” he said. “This is comparatively early, but the grapes were ripe. Since we were under much pressure towards the end, there was not enough time to select the great wines, but in the end, the quality was satisfactory. The wines are already showing well, especially compared to the 2021s at this stage. If I had to drink a bottle tonight, I would rather drink 2022 than 2021.” I tasted the 2022s during my visit, including one Auslese each from the Braune Kupp and the Scharzhofberg. “For us, Auslese always means botrytis,” Müller explained, his face turning into a smile as he remarked: “But you must be able to tell the fungi apart,” meaning that one must select scrupulously for pristine, clean botrytis.

From: 2023 Mosel-Saar-Ruwer: A Riesling Race Against Rain (Dec 2024)
The 2023 Riesling Scharzhof, harvested from various parcels across Saarburger Rausch, Wiltinger Volz and Braune Kupp, alongside marginal parcels of Scharzhofberg and Oberemmeler Rosenberg, was fermented spontaneously, mostly in stainless steel with about 20% in Fuder. Juicy, ripe pear on the nose is suffused with lemon and yeast. The immense juiciness is evident on the palate, with light apple-like mouthwatering sweetness and a constant verve of lemon zest. This wine is already open and brings joyous energy with a zesty finish.
- By Anne Krebiehl MW on September 2024
Lars Lagerlof, vineyard manager at Egon Müller, recalls, “The summer of 2023 appeared so dry that we reduced yields to two bunches per shoot to heed against the drought and ensure ripening. Then in August and September, a lot of rain came, when it was too late to go out and spray,” which spelled disease pressure. Harvest started on September 21 and finished on October 9. “It was brief, but we had an ideal window when the sun turned up,” Lagerlod remembers, noting that some good botrytis appeared so that small quantities of higher Prädikate could be selected. Musts started fermenting very easily, right after sedimentation. The wines are simply disarming—even seductive—in their juiciness.
