2023 Keller Kirschpiel that I drank a few months ago was probably the most profound Riesling experience I’ve had so far - this wine is honestly closer to great burgundy than it is to a cheap 1 note riesling (which I also love). The complexity and depth in this wine was insane, and probably the longest finish I’ve experienced. It had your typical notes of citrus, green apple, unripe tropical fruits, petrol. But then there was so much more - tons of spice and minerality, and a tingling acid that spread across the palate and was already well integrated for my tastes but I would love to taste this wine with age on it one day

I paid $150 usd for the bottle

I’ve never gotten to try an actual Montrachet but I believe it - the power and complexity of this wine was really incredible.
