Rudolf Fürst

The Fürst family has been growing grapes in Bürgstadt, in Churfranken between Spessart and Odenwald, since 1638. In 1975, Paul Fürst took over his parents' business at the age of just 21. He quickly made a name for himself as a Burgundy specialist and consistently led the winery to become one of the top wineries in Germany. The winery is known for producing the most elegant Pinot Noirs in Germany, which thrive on the red sandstone soils of the Centgrafenberg and Klingenberger Schlossberg vineyards. The white Burgundy varieties are also processed into magnificent wines of Burgundian elegance at the Fürst winery, because Paul and his son Sebastian know better than almost any other winemaker in Germany how to perfectly integrate the wood of the barriques into the wines.

The white wines in the “pur mineral” range are matured in steel tanks and are the fresh and purist start to the wine series. Otherwise, everything at the Fürst Winery is aged in wooden barrels, Silvaner and Riesling in large wooden barrels, and all Burgundy wines—both white and red—in small wooden barrels. Minimal yields of between 25 and 50 hectoliters per hectare, labor-intensive craftsmanship, and the best locations form the basis for the Fürst Burgundy masterpieces. The winery's top white wines, Pinot Blanc Centgrafenberg and Chardonnay Karthäuser, are characterized by depth, salty minerality, and Burgundian elegance. The Pinot Noirs are fermented in wooden vats, with a large proportion of whole grapes always included, depending on the vintage and location, before being aged in small wooden barrels, some of which are new. However, the wood is perfectly integrated immediately after bottling, and the wines are very fine with a delicate color, subtle tannins, and lively acidity. Despite their elegant and delicate style, the wines of Paul and Sebastian Fürst are extremely suitable for aging, and the best vineyards only reveal their full potential after ten years.
