Bernhard Huber, Bienenberg Grosses Gewachs Spatburgunder, 2023
If Alte Burg is the perfume, Bienenberg is the power. This is the Huber family's home vineyard in Malterdingen — slopes first planted to Pinot Noir by Cistercian monks almost 700 years ago, with this GG drawn from vines planted in the 1970s and 1980s. Julian Huber, who took over after his father Bernhard's death in 2014, has continued the late patriarch's Burgundian playbook: hand-harvested old vines, careful fermentation, long élevage in French oak. The result is a Grosses Gewächs (the German Grand Cru equivalent) with real bones — darker-fruited and more brooding than Alte Burg, with the kind of structure that asks for cellar time. Bernhard was nicknamed the Godfather of German Pinot, a close friend of Jacques Seysses at Dujac. This is the wine that earned the title.
