Herbert and Steffen Reinecker know<br />

what they are doing: ever since 1987<br />

all grapes of this Privat-Sektkellerei<br />

have been turned into sparkling wines. While<br />

the family is deeply-rooted in Auggen, in the<br />

subregion of Markgräflerland, their horizon<br />

reaches far beyond. Right from the start, Champagne<br />

has been their stylistic point of reference.<br />

More recently, the wines have gained even more<br />

luminosity and precision: the “3-Lagen”, i.e.<br />

three sites, set is fabulous, pitching the terroirs<br />

of the Badenweiler Römerberg, the Auggener<br />

Schäf and the Feuerbacher Steingässle against<br />

each other: an exciting and magnificent contest.<br />

93 2016 Feuerbach Steingässle<br />

Pinot Noir extra brut<br />

Burgundy berry with some patina, iodine-spiciness and apple<br />

peel. Very fine mousse, full-bodied, firm acidity, profound<br />

mineral foundation, a Pinot sparkling wine with mineral<br />

depth. Very well-timed in the harvest and very well-matched<br />

with reserve wines. 12 Vol.-%. cork, €€<br />

93 2016 »3 Lagen« Badenweiler Römerberg<br />

Pinot Noir extra brut<br />

Strongly yeasty, restrained fruit. Comparatively full-bodied<br />

on the palate, fine, persistent mousse, lively, but also ripe<br />

acidity. Exceptionally powerful tactile minerality, enigmatic,<br />

will mature very well. First notions of spice appear in the finish.<br />

12 Vol.-%. cork<br />

93 2016 »3 Lagen« Feuerbach Steingässle<br />

Pinot Noir extra brut<br />

A touch of colour, even a very slight reddish shimmer and<br />

more berry on the nose. Very Pinot. Suppleness, but also<br />

freshness. Rather restrained acidity, fine, creamy fading<br />

mousse, plus some substance, structurally tart, but then finally<br />

also some sweetness. 12 Vol.-%. cork<br />

92 2016 »3 Lagen« Auggen Schäf<br />

Pinot Noir extra brut<br />

Apple peel, redcurrants and delicate notes of yeast. Immediately<br />

chalky on the palate, fresh mousse, delicate sweetness,<br />

light impression, lively acidity, medium weight in extract and<br />

body, seems chiselled and polished; compact in the finish<br />

with juicy berry fruit. 12 Vol.-%. cork<br />

91 2015 »Cuvée Classic Réserve« brut<br />

90 2018 Crémant brut<br />

89 2016 »Blanc de Blancs« Chardonnay brut<br />

89 2016 Rosé brut<br />

91 2016 »Pinot Blanc de Noirs« extra brut<br />

A berry scent, apple, very fine mousse, cultivated acidity,<br />

lean yet aromatic. A fine aperitif, just dosed enough to give<br />

the fruit some underpinning. 12 Vol.-%, cork, €€<br />
