About the Producer

Weingut Jülg is a stone’s throw from the French border, and half its vineyards are in Alsace. A further French connection is the young winemaker Johannes’s spell under Thierry Brouin at Domaine des Lambrays, which taught him to focus on complexity and elegance rather than obvious primary fruit. He also spent seven years working at top German estates, including Weingut Keller, before returning home in 2011, when his father handed him the reins of the twenty-hectare family estate. His primary focus has been to improve work in the vineyard with new French clones and denser planting, and resulting wines have become finer and more balanced, with impressive Riesling and superb Pinot Noir.

The shifting frontier between Germany and France has resulted in many Schweigen-Rechtenbach growers owning vineyards on both sides of the border. This has caused difficulty in classification: although they can make wine from French grapes and sell it as German, they are unable to use French vineyard names on German bottlings, so cannot, for example, declare GGs from them. Just as confusing is the expansion of the commune’s best vineyards, the four-hectare Sonnenberg, to a Grosslage, meaning that almost all the wines from the town can be labelled with its name even when they are miles away.
About the Latest Vintage

2018 was challenging. The rich water-retentive clay soils of Schweigen mean that there are never drought problems, but the heat caused rapid ripening. The harvest began consequently early on 28th August picking grapes for Sekt, but Johannes immediately realised that acidity levels were falling more quickly than expected, so switched all his attention to Pinot Noir, and used a bigger team than usual to get the fruit in more rapidly. He managed to catch it with time to spare. The wines are forward and flattering, but the alcohol levels remain moderate, and there is a lovely seductive purity to them.

Each year Johannes Jülg’s wines get finer and more expressive, and he made another big leap in 2018. He is well on his way to the firmament of German winemakers.
