Jean Stodden is one of the top producers of Pinot Noir in the world and have been making wine since 1578.

Following the dramatic floods in 2021, this collection of extremely fine Spätburgunders was created. Having lost many barrels and vineyards to the devastating floods, the Stodden family vowed to carry on and restore everything back to its former glory. 

Jean Stodden Spätburgunder 2020 Pegel 735 Ahr

This wine is made from vineyards that no longer exist due to the flooding and may never be permitted to be re-planted.  This is all bright wild red berry fruits, red cherries and a touch of spice. The wine has a juiciness and beautiful concentration that are balanced perfectly with the wine's powdery tannins. 

Jean Stodden Spätburgunder, 'Rescued by H.O. Spanier' 2020 Ahr

Dedicated to the Rheinhessen winemaker Hans Oliver Spanier who jumped into action, rolled his sleeves up and helped Alexander to taste through the unnamed barrels that were rescued from the winery post-flood. Delicious notes of smoky bacon fat and spice leap from the glass, darker cherry and ripe red berry fruits run through the core with a density and a concentration beautifully balanced with crisp acidity and chalky tannins.

2020 Spätburgunder,  'Alexander Die Grossen', Jean Stodden, Ahr

Comparable in quality to the Grosse Gewächs Spätburgunders from Jean Stodden. A nose of red fruits, extremely perfumed, wild strawberries, aromatic tea and a delicious spiciness. The tannins are tight-knit and there is great tension on the core thanks to the crisp acidity and silky palate.
