Sourced from old vines (45 to 60+ years old), the cuvée earns its name \"Liaison\" because the fruit is harvested from a masterfully balanced split across Baden’s two primary soil profiles: colored sandstone and shell limestone.\u003cbr\u003eThe 2019 vintage holds notable historic weight for Weingut Enderle \u0026amp; Moll, as it represents the final growing season co-crafted by founders Sven Enderle and Florian Moll before Sven's departure from the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eThe Terroir Marriage\u003c\/strong\u003e: The sandstone parcel yields an airy, highly aromatic, and perfumed spice element, while the shell limestone injects verticality, focused structural minerality, and fine-grained grip.\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eAromatics\u003c\/strong\u003e: A beautifully expressive and layered nose. It opens with pure ripe strawberry, deep red cherry, and red raspberry, layered with intricate secondary notes of rhubarb, damp tree bark, kitchen spices, and a touch of gunsmoke or flint.\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e: Elegant, translucent, and light-bodied with a weightless, Burgundian feel. On the palate, users agree it features vibrant, mouthwatering acidity balanced by deep, soil-driven red fruits, giving it an energetic texture without feeling overly tart.\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eTechnical\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e: The fruit undergoes wild, spontaneous yeast fermentation with a partial whole-cluster inclusion before aging gently in old, neutral French oak barrels. It is bottled unfined and unfiltered with an alcohol level of 12.5% to 13.5% ABV.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlorian Moll\u003c\/strong\u003e (alongside his partner Geraldine and cellar-master Maxence) is one of Germany’s most sought-after Pinot Noir producers. Even though they only started in 2007, the estate has already developed a cult following, despite their ‘no fuss’ low tech approach. Florian cultivates 4 hectares of vines in Münchweier, a historic winemaking village on the slopes of the Black Forest in Baden. The sandstone and limestone rich soils found here are capable of yielding lifted and focused expressions of Pinot Noir, and he is lucky to have some of the oldest Pinot Noir vines in Baden. Florian does not have a certification, but believes that farming organically is the ‘new old’, normal way that his grandfather’s generation would have always practice. Despite being the exception to the rule in the otherwise heavily industrialised (however small structured) region of Baden, all the steep vineyard work is done by hand. Naturally, the yields are kept very low. The grapes are pressed with a pneumatic press and elévage is carried out in used barrels between 225 and 500L in size.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDespite often being compared to great Burgundian estates, Florian is not trying to replicate the Burgundian style. For him and his team, it is far more important to capture and express the potential of their own impressive terroir. Overly ripe fruit and high alcohol levels can obscure terroir, which is why they choose to declassify all their wines to ‘Tafelwein’ (table wine). This frees them up to make wine in a more transparent and energetic style; a far cry from the heavy-handed Pinot Noirs that Baden is often associated with.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver the past few years, they have also proven a real talent for more experimental white and skin- contact wines, and in fact, they were making unfiltered, low sulphur white wines years before Germany saw a birth of young generation natural winemakers that adopted this style.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"THE REITMAN COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53075502760216,"sku":"JR24191-5083","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/5302\/9400\/files\/Reitman_Collection_Logo.png?v=1793221725","url":"https:\/\/chapfour.com\/zh\/products\/enderle-moll-baden-pn-liaison-2019-trc","provider":"CHAPTER 4 | FINE + RARE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
